Picture Book of Snow, Moon, and Flowers (Ehon setsugekka)
Picture Book of Snow, Moon, and Flowers is a Japanese woodblock picture book published in Kyoto in 1768 by Kikuya Kihei, made by the artist Nishikawa Sukenobu, and aimed at general readers of the period. Its double-page spreads pair small ink-line scenes of townspeople, teahouses and gardens with columns of calligraphic verse. A designer might take from them the economical brush line, the flat stacked architecture and the way text and image share a page as a layout model.
