Nezashi takara
Nezashi takara is a Japanese woodblock-printed painting manual by Tachibana Morikuni, published in Osaka in 1745 by Shibukawa Kiyoemon for students of ink painting. The pages show pine and other trees drawn in ink-line detail, with short handwritten-style captions in the margins. A designer could take from them a model for building trees and rocky ground from simple, economical line work.
