The Story of Aoto Fujitsuna (Aoto Fujitsuna moryōan 青砥藤綱模稜案)
A Japanese woodblock-printed picture book from Edo published in 1812 by Heirindō and credited to Katsushika Hokusai, telling the story of the official Aoto Fujitsuna in a mix of text pages and scenes. The pages show architecture, gardens, and figures in period dress rendered in fine black line with sparse shading. A designer could take from them the economical linework, the staged compositions framed by screens and balconies, and the way landscape and interior are layered across a double spread.
