Ōyō Sketchbook (Ōyō manga) : [volume 1]
Ōyō Sketchbook volume 1 is a Japanese pattern-design manual by Ogino Issui, published in Kyoto by Yamada Unsōdō in 1903, aimed at artists and craftworkers seeking decorative motifs. Its pictures are flat stencil-like prints of circles, animals, plants, and vessels in few colours, showing how simplified shapes and repeated bands can be reduced to bold graphic forms.
