"Ehon Teikin Orai" (絵本庭訓往来), also known as "Livre à l'Usage de l'Éducation des Enfants," is a woodblock printed picture book by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai. Created in the early 19th century, this work is part of Hokusai's extensive oeuvre of illustrated books, which includes instructional manuals, novels, poetry anthologies, and pictorial guides. The title "Teikin Orai" refers to a genre of Japanese didactic literature that provided moral and practical guidance for household management and personal conduct, often aimed at women and children.

The "Ehon Teikin Orai" is notable for its combination of Hokusai's artistic mastery with educational content, offering readers a visual and textual guide to the virtues and values considered important in Edo-period Japan. The book is structured as a series of lessons, each accompanied by an illustration that captures everyday life, social customs, and the natural world with Hokusai's characteristic attention to detail and dynamic composition.

Hokusai's illustrations in "Ehon Teikin Orai" are executed with the precision and expressiveness that mark his celebrated works, such as the "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" series. The images in this book serve not only as aesthetic accomplishments but also as tools for instruction, reflecting the artist's ability to convey complex ideas through visual storytelling.

As with many of Hokusai's illustrated books, "Ehon Teikin Orai" reflects the artist's interest in the intersection of art, education, and popular culture. It stands as a testament to the role of woodblock printed books in disseminating knowledge and cultural values during the Edo period, as well as to Hokusai's versatility and influence as an artist beyond the realm of single-sheet prints.

The "Ehon Teikin Orai" remains an important work for scholars studying Japanese art, literature, and society, offering insights into the pedagogical methods and ideological frameworks of the time. It is also valued by collectors and enthusiasts of Hokusai's work for its historical significance and the beauty of its illustrations.
