Kōrin Picture Album (Kōrin gafu)
Kōrin Picture Album, a Japanese woodblock print book by Nakamura Hōchū, published in 1826 for a general audience of artists and admirers of the Kōrin school. The pictures are simple, unshaded sketches of flowers, a peony with a red seal, and a folk scene under a tree, printed in soft grey, yellow and pink on pale paper, with loose outlines and open space that a designer could borrow for minimal botanical layouts and naive figure drawing.
