袖珍必携諸職画譜 初集
A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1881 by Matsuzaki Hanzō, illustrated by Takizawa Kiyoshi as a compact handbook of painting models for artisans and students. The pages are black-and-white woodblock prints showing flowers, birds, willows, horses, rocks, and mountain landscapes with a few lines each. A designer could take economical brushwork, simple ink outlines, and the repeated motifs of Japanese decorative painting, such as bamboo-like grasses, cranes, and Fuji-style peaks, for patterns and vignettes.
