-Utagawa Kunisada's Inshoku Yojo Kagami ("Mirror of the Physiology of Drinking and Eating") turns a man's dinner into an org chart: little figures scurry around a pool wrapped in intestines, stoke a fire under the heart, and consult a scholar with reference books on hand.

Widely credited online to Kunisada; UCSF's own catalog names the obscurer Utagawa Yoshitsuna.
