松花堂画帖 花
A Japanese ehon picture album of ink-brush sketches, drawn by the painter Shōshōdō Shōshō and compiled by the Shōshōdō Gashō Kankōkai, published in Japan in 1930. The pictures are loose monochrome studies on cream paper: a robed figure, a plump grey chick, a hen with dark tail feathers, and a laughing bald figure in ink wash. A designer might take their economical brush contour, soft grey wash, and generous empty space around single subjects.
