This illustrated book, "A Compendium of Model Gardens," created by renowned Japanese artist Hishikawa Moronobu in 1691, depicts a series of garden designs, including a detailed scene of a garden with a waterfall, trees, and rocks. This work demonstrates the meticulous artistry of ukiyo-e woodblock printing, which was prevalent during Moronobu's time. As a pioneer in the ukiyo-e genre, Moronobu's work was a crucial influence on the development of later Japanese art.
