A Picture Book on the Communication of Home Precepts part I (Ehon teikin ōrai shohen 絵本庭訓往来初編)
A Japanese illustrated primer printed in Edo in 1828 by the Eijudō publishing house, attributed to Katsushika Hokusai, meant to teach household and correspondence vocabulary to young readers. The pages pair woodblock-printed scenes of daily life with columns of handwritten calligraphic text, and the sparse black line drawings show farm work, interiors and garden details a designer could use for compositional reference in simple line art.
