浮世絵手本
A Meiji-era Japanese ehon picture manual titled Ukiyo-e Tehon, compiled and published by Sawa Kyujiro in 1887 for artists and students learning the ukiyo-e style. The pages show woodblock-printed figures, animals, and landscape fragments drawn in clean black linework with sparse shading. A designer might take its economical contour lines, rocky outcrops, billowing clouds, and dynamic figure poses as models for simplified graphic illustration.
