芳文画譜
A Meiji-period Japanese picture manual (ehon) of 1890 by the painter Kikuchi Hōbun, published in Tokyo by Tanaka Jihei for artists and students of brush painting. Its pages show birds, flowers and rocks in clean ink line, with Japanese captions beside each scene, and a designer could borrow its economical, spare linework and the way a few strokes suggest foliage and water.
