Katsushika, Hokusai, 1760-1849 · 1843 · 8 pictures

Old Manji's Cursive Picture Album is a Japanese woodblock picture book by Katsushika Hokusai, published in 1843 in Edo for a general readership of artists and craftsmen. Its pages pair columns of cursive kana calligraphy with small ink sketches of figures, so the facing spreads read as text beside drawing.
