宋紫石画譜 3巻
A Japanese painting manual of 1765 in three volumes, published by Suharaya Shirōemon and a partner, compiled by Fuku Mōgi and offered for artists and students of Japanese picture books. Its pages show trees, rocks, birds and sprays of foliage drawn in clean black ink outlines with sparse shading, and a designer might take from them the economy of line and the open, empty ground that leaves the subject floating on the page.
