Chokunyū juen zuroku / Tanomura Shōsai henshū - Volume 1
A Japanese woodblock-printed illustrated book from 1881, published in Osaka by Akashi Chūshichi and edited by Tanomura Shōsai, presenting the garden and interior views of Tanomura Chokunyū, a painter of the period. Its pictures are simple black line drawings on pale paper, showing rooms with low tables, hanging scrolls, potted plants, a window screen and a garden pavilion among pines, with calligraphic inscriptions and sparse shading, a restrained source for minimal line work and interior staging.
