Fukei gasō is a Japanese woodblock-printed sketchbook by Chō Gesshō (1772-1832), published in Owari in 1817 by Eirakuya Tōshirō and Keiundō Tōhei for artists and students. Its double-page spreads show landscapes, plants, birds and figures in spare black line with little shading, a clear model for simple ink contour drawing and economical composition.
