Transmitting the Spirit, Revealing the Form of Things, Volume 1 to 15 of Hokusai Sketchbooks (Denshin kaishu: Hokusai manga, shohen - jugohen)
A woodblock-printed Edo sketchbook by Katsushika Hokusai, published in Edo in 1848 by Kadomaruya Jinsuke and partners, offering studies of figures, temples and religious subjects for general readers and artists. The pages show monochrome line drawings: a temple gate and roof, robed Buddhist figures with staffs beside a bell inscribed with text, a seated monk on rock, and seated sages marked with red seals, drawn in clean, economical strokes a designer could use for figure poses and drapery.
