万象画譜 : 風景花鳥山水
A Japanese ehon picture book published in 1891 by Kunshidō, a Tokyo-era publisher, offering model drawings of landscapes, flowers, birds and mountains for artists and craftsmen to copy. Its pages hold circular and framed vignettes in black ink line, with mountains, plum branches, a seated figure, sparrows and chrysanthemums. A designer could draw on its economical brush outlines, its circular framing devices, and its simple natural motifs for compositions.
