A Garden of Pictures by Kyoto Artists (Keijō gaen)
A Garden of Pictures by Kyoto Artists (Keijō gaen) is a Japanese woodblock picture book published in Kyoto in 1814 by Yoshida Shinbei, with pages by Shiba Kōkan (1738?-1818) for a general readership of artists and print buyers. The pictures are sparse black-line sketches on pale paper showing figures in everyday street and household scenes, a rural traveller leading an ox, and a roadside shop with a striped awning, giving designers economical examples of figure posture, costume folds, and compact composition.
