A Japanese woodblock picture book printed in Edo in 1826 and compiled by Sakai Hōitsu, reproducing one hundred paintings by Ogata Kōrin for a readership of painters and collectors. The pictures are monochrome ink line drawings of birds, flowers, grasses, fans and figures, with bold dark silhouettes and open paper space that a designer could borrow for minimal linear compositions and negative space.
