Banpō zensho : Volume 10
Banpō zensho, volume 10, a Japanese woodblock-printed reference book published in Edo and Osaka in 1770, covering Japanese and Chinese antiquities for a scholarly readership. The pages pair dense columns of Japanese text and seal-script-like characters with ruled tables and inset tablet drawings, while one spread shows decorative motifs of dragons and scrolling cloud forms in a boxed layout.
