*''Published: [[1876]]-[[1881]]''
*''Japanese'': 温知図録 ''(onchi zuroku)''
The ''onchi zuroku'' were a series of volumes of craft designs produced in [[1875]] to [[1881]]. Including some 2,500 designs in four volumes (incl. 84 books and 11 scrolls), the volumes were produced by [[Kano school|Kanô]], [[Rinpa]], [[Maruyama-Shijo school|Maruyama-Shijô school]], and other artists in the employ of the ''seihin gazu gakari'' (Product Design Sketch Department), a department of the [[Meiji government]] tasked with ''onko chishin'' (温故知新): drawing on the treasures of Japanese art traditions and infusing them with new ideas.
The production of the books was directly tied to the design of craft pieces for display at [[World's Fairs]], beginning with the [[1876]] [[Centennial Exhibition]] held in Philadelphia, in the United States.
The four volumes, including designs for ceramics, [[cloisonne|cloisonné]], metalwork, woodwork, lacquerwares, and leather pieces, were published in [[1876]], [[1877]], [[1878]], and [[1881]].
