Did You Know?

Shazanrō was one of Tani Bunchō's style names.
A woodblock-printed book displays two cream-colored pages framed in thin black borders. Spanning both pages are dark, spindly branches with muted gray leaves and round yellow fruit. On the left, a low cluster of fruit sits among pointed leaves; on the right, an angular branch arches upward with several more. A small red seal punctuates the lower right corner. Elaborate orange, gold, and green floral silk borders the book's outer edges.
