Kan'yōsai Picture Album (Kan'yōsai gafu 寒葉斎画譜) : [volume 3]
Kan'yōsai Picture Album, volume 3, is a Japanese woodblock painting manual by Takebe Ayatari, published in Edo in 1762 by Suharaya Ichibei for amateur painters and students. The pages show ink-brush studies of plants, birds and rocks, printed with faint grey wash behind the strokes. A designer could take from them the economy of loose brushwork, where a few dark strokes suggest leaves, branches and feathers against open paper.
