Suiseki Picture Album (Suiseki gafu 水石画譜)
A Japanese woodblock picture album from 1814 by Satō Suiseki, showing everyday working people in Edo-period Japan, probably for a general readership. The pictures are small, mostly monochrome line drawings with light tinting, showing bustling domestic and workshop scenes with clear, economical gestures that a designer could draw on for figure poses and period street-life compositions.
