光琳画譜
Kōrin Gafu is a Japanese picture book (ehon) of 1901, with paintings by Ogata Kōrin and compilation by Kobayashi Bunshichi, published in Japan for artists and designers studying traditional decorative style. The pictures show bold black-and-white silhouettes of flowers and leaves, swirling water waves, a flock of birds, and deer, with stencil-like shapes and open white space a designer could borrow for pattern, poster and textile work.
