応翠画譜 1
Ōsui gafu 1 is a Japanese ehon picture manual by Asai Ōsui, published in 1880 by Kobayashi Kichigorō, offering woodblock-printed sketches for artists and craftsmen. Its pages show sages, carp swimming among pine sprigs, fishermen and children at play, a dog, a boar, a crane, and a sealed tin with brushes, drawn in clean outline with little shading and tidy framed panels a designer could adapt for motifs or spot illustration.
