Album of Calligraphy and Painting (Shoga jō)
This Japanese album of calligraphy and painting was compiled by Tsukioka Settei, a Kyoto-area painter, and printed in 1830 for artists and calligraphy students. Its pages pair ink-brush flowers, fruit and vines with poems in running script, drawn in restrained monochrome and soft colour washes that suit botanical or minimalist layouts with generous margins.
