Picture Book of the Eternal Pines (Ehon chiyo no matsu 絵本千代の松) : [volume 3]
Picture Book of the Eternal Pines, volume 3, is an Edo-period Japanese woodblock illustrated book by Suzuki Harunobu, published in Edo in 1767 by Yamazaki Kinbei for a general readership of poetry and fashion lovers. Its pages pair poem inscriptions with ink-line scenes of women at leisure, seasonal gardens, and moonlit landscapes. A designer could draw on its spare contour lines, open page compositions, and the way calligraphic verse sits beside figures and nature.
