Picture Book of the Evergreens (Ehon tokiwagusa)
Ehon tokiwagusa, or Picture Book of the Evergreens, is a Japanese woodblock picture book by Nishikawa Sukenobu, published in Osaka in 1731 by Morita Shōtarō. Its double-page spreads show elegantly dressed women and children in interiors and gardens, and the pictures are clean, sparse ink linework, with patterned kimono and folding screens that suggest how a designer might handle contour and pattern.
