Banpō zensho : Volume 2
Banpō zensho volume 2, published in 1770 in Edo and Osaka by Suharaya Mohē, Zōgeya Jirobē and Tsurugaya Kuhē, is a Japanese woodblock-printed reference book on Chinese and Japanese antiquities. Its pages show columns of brush-written characters beside rows of carved seal stamps and archaic script forms, giving a designer a dense, systematic typographic texture in black ink on cream paper.
