Denshin kaishu Hokusai manga
Denshin kaishu Hokusai manga is a Japanese sketchbook of drawing models by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849), printed in Japan in 1780 for artists and students copying from it. Its pages show bare-branched trees, figures of Daoist sages and hermits, Shinto shrine motifs, carts, hills, and small everyday objects arranged in loose clusters. A designer could take the economical ink line, the scattered layouts, and the way single motifs stand alone on pale paper.
