A Beginners Pictorial Encyclopedia of Natural History 1794 (second edition; 1761 original edition) Tachibana Morikuni This is a later edition of a crucial drawing manual of the eighteenth century, originally published in 1761. To my knowledge it is extremely hard to find a first edition of this work, and this edition dates precisely to the time when Morikuni impacted the art world most powerfully at the end of the eighteenth century, nearly a half century after his death. An artist such as Katsushika Hokusai drew inspiration for his own prints and visual encyclopedias from Morikunis wide-ranging depictions of the world around him. These volumes focus in particular on avian subjects.. A Beginners Pictorial Encyclopedia of Natural History. Tachibana Morikuni (Japanese, 1679-1748).
