Picture Book for the Practice of Drawing (Ehon tebikigusa 絵本手引草)
Ehon tebikigusa is a Japanese woodblock picture book of 1849 by Andō Hiroshige, published by Iseya Heikichi, meant to teach drawing to amateur artists. The pictures show fish, flowers and sprays drawn in clean outline and flat colour, with simple guide diagrams beside them that a designer could borrow for compact botanical or marine motifs.
