Nezashi takara
Nezashi takara is a Japanese woodblock-printed botanical pattern book by Tachibana Morikuni, published in Osaka in 1745 by Shibukawa Kiyoemon for painters and craftsmen. Its pages show flowering plants and branches in fine black outline, each with accompanying Japanese text, so a designer can study how simple line drawings reduce foliage and blossoms to clear, repeatable shapes.
