Transmitting the Spirit, Revealing the Form of Things, Volume 10 (Denshin kaishu: Hokusai manga, jūhen 傳神開手 北斎漫画十編)
A Japanese woodblock sketchbook of 1819 by Katsushika Hokusai, published in Nagoya by Eirakuya Tōshirō for a general audience of artists and print buyers. Its pages show figures in loose ink line, many of them Chinese sages, hermits, and immortals in landscapes, with brief captions and vignettes; a designer can take from them economical contour lines, fluid drapery, and figures set against mist, cloud, and bamboo.
