Designs for Ranma (Door Transoms) (Ranma zushiki) : [volume 2]
A Japanese pattern book of carved door-transom designs (ranma) by Ōoka Shunboku, printed in 1734 in Osaka and Edo for carpenters and craftsmen. The white-on-black woodblock pages show plant and animal motifs, and a designer might take from them the way dense foliage, grapes, and flowing water are arranged as openwork panels that fill a horizontal band.
