Chokunyū juen zuroku / Tanomura Shōsai henshū - Volume 3
A Japanese woodblock-printed volume from 1881, published in Osaka by Akashi Chūshichi and edited by Tanomura Shōsai, presenting the interior furnishings and objects of a scholar's room for an audience of connoisseurs and craftsmen. The pictures are fine black-line drawings of a tokonoma-style room with hanging scrolls, lacquered stands, potted plants, a bronze vessel, and a folding screen, with plain paper and generous white space. A designer could take their economical contour line, open spacing, and the way simple objects are arranged on a stepped stand.
