菊池容斎翁画譜
A Meiji-era Japanese ehon picture book from 1890, published by Honma Mitsunori and copied by Matsumoto Fūko after the painter Kikuchi Yōsai, with the Japanese title 菊池容斎翁画譜. The pictures are monochrome woodblock-style prints of pine trees, figures, rolling landscapes and rocky shores with fine stippled washes, so a designer could take their economical use of tone, empty space and pared-down line for compositions with a quiet, atmospheric feel.
