Transmitting the Spirit, Revealing the Form of Things, Volume 1 to 15 of Hokusai Sketchbooks (Denshin kaishu: Hokusai manga, shohen - jugohen)
Hokusai's sketchbook of landscapes, published in Edo (Tokyo) in 1848 by the Kadomaruya publishing house for a general audience of woodblock print readers and artists. The pictures are monochrome ink-style woodblock spreads of mountains, rocky coasts, pine trees, and drifting mist, with some pages in faint colour; a designer can take from them loose, economical linework and the use of empty space to suggest distance and weather.
