In 1880 Masatake Murakami edited a woodblock-printed picture book entitled Nanga Sōgaku (i.e., How to Quickly Learn Nanga). It was intended to provide art students with models of the Chinese Nanga painting style which could be copied or traced. The book’s twenty-six pages of bird pictures are shown in this gallery. Click on a picture to enlarge it. The anonymous artist drew the shapes of his bird subjects only semi-accurately and their colors were reduced to shapes of gray.
