These multi-volume ehon, or picture books, served as manuals to artists like Itō Jakuchū (1716–1800) and Kimura Kenkadō (1736–1802), the latter of whom was also a well-known collector. Shunboku’s books stimulated their interest in China’s Ming-dynasty painters, some of whose compositions could be found in the collections of Japanese monasteries and were thus accessible for study. (Wakan meigaen) shows that Shunboku wished to disseminate images of Japanese masterworks as well as Chinese. It includes reproductions of kasen-e—imaginary portraits of poets like Kakinomoto no Hitomaro and Ono no Komachi—by Tosa school artists, scenes from The Tale of Genji (Genji monogatari), and illustrations from the Tales of Ise (Ise monogatari) attributed to Tosa Mitsuoki (1617–1691).'
