The manuscript is a collection of 74 pages of various paintings, sketches, and drawings, all in different styles. Some are heavily detailed with vibrant colors, others are less so, being rendered as simplistic ink sketches. Many are full page spreads, while others are smaller, split illustrations. Some of the drawings have been produced on other paper, and then transposed to the current artbook, making for an interesting compilation of work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003eOf the artists, \u003cb\u003eIto Suiun\u003c\/b\u003e was a painter from Nagoya, born in the late Edo period, who appears to have belonged to and studied at the Kyoshin-Kai School of Painting, which was established with an emphasis on the desire to learn painting with a straightforward heart.
