Masayoshi Kitao Gallery of the Reader Collection of Japanese Flower-and-Bird Art

In the picture book entitled Shinki Issō (i.e., Clean Sweep of the Mind), published in 1814, Masayoshi only suggests the true shape of objects using a single color (i.e., black). The book's thirty-four pictures of flowers and (or) birds are shown here. Click on a picture to enlarge it.
