鳥獣毛筆画譜
Chōjū mōhitsu gafu is an 1889 Japanese ehon picture book of birds and animals, illustrated by Tachibana Yūzei and published by Endō Heizaemon in Japan for general readers of painting models. Its pages are black-and-white woodblock prints of single creatures and small groups set in simple landscape or branch settings, with Japanese captions beside them. A designer could draw on the economical contour lines, the varied poses of birds and beasts, and the way each animal is isolated in its own framed panel.
