''Taigadō Gafu'' (待賢堂画譜, "Taigadō's Picture Album") is a renowned Japanese art book by Ike no Taiga (池大雅, 1723–1776), a prominent painter and calligrapher of the Edo period. The work is a compilation of woodblock prints that illustrate Taiga's mastery in the literati painting style (bunjinga or nanga), which was inspired by Chinese scholarly painting traditions. ''Taigadō Gafu'' is considered one of the quintessential representations of this style in Japanese art.

Ike no Taiga, born in Kyoto, was a self-taught artist who rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most influential cultural figures of his time. His work is characterized by a blend of Chinese and Japanese artistic traditions, and he is particularly noted for his innovative brushwork and incorporation of calligraphic techniques into painting.

''Taigadō Gafu'' showcases a variety of subjects, including landscapes, flora, and fauna, each reflecting Taiga's deep appreciation for nature and his philosophical musings. The album not only serves as a visual collection of Taiga's artistry but also as a historical document that offers insights into the aesthetics and cultural values of the Edo period's intellectual elite.

The publication of ''Taigadō Gafu'' played a significant role in the dissemination of Taiga's artistic style and the literati ideals. It influenced subsequent generations of Japanese artists and contributed to the enduring legacy of nanga painting. The album is highly regarded for its artistic merit and historical importance, and original copies are considered valuable collectors' items. Today, ''Taigadō Gafu'' is studied by art historians and enthusiasts as a vital source for understanding the development of Japanese literati culture and its artistic expressions.
