Kan'yōsai Picture Album (Kan'yōsai gafu 寒葉斎画譜) : [volume 2]
Kan'yōsai Picture Album, volume 2, 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 spare ink studies of plants and birds, with some pale grey wash behind the motifs. A designer could take from them the economy of single brushstroke line, the open negative space around a subject, and the restrained tonal wash used to suggest atmosphere.
