十竹齋書畫譜 不分卷 一
A Ming-dynasty Chinese painting manual compiled by Hu Zhengyan, a printmaker and publisher, in the Ten Bamboo Studio colour woodblock tradition, with the record also filed under Japanese picture books. The pictures are loose botanical studies of flowers, leaves, fruit and gnarled branches, painted in soft washes of pink, green and blue on pale paper with red seal marks, offering a designer a restrained palette and careful, economical line for nature motifs.
