The Nantei Picture Album, Supplementary Volume (Nantei gafu) : [volume 3]
The Nantei Picture Album, Supplementary Volume is a Japanese woodblock sketchbook of everyday life made by Nishimura Nantei and published in Kyoto in 1804 for a general popular audience. Its pages show crowds of townspeople, travellers, and children in loose, quick ink line with minimal shading, and a designer might take from them the economy of gesture and the way groups of figures are packed into a single page.
