Banpō zensho : Volume 5
Banpō zensho volume 5 is a Japanese woodblock reference book printed in 1770 by publishers in Edo and Osaka, cataloguing antiquities from Japan and China for collectors and scholars. Its pages are dense grids of seal impressions, stamp-like carved marks and inscribed characters, presented as rows of black-ink shapes on cream paper that a designer could draw on for bold graphic marks, modular layouts, or stamp-style motifs.
