運筆画帖
A Meiji-era Japanese picture book of brush-painting models, written by Taki Kazutei and published by Taguchi Jisaburō in 1893 for students learning ink brush technique. The pictures are ink-brush sketches of orchids and grass-like leaves drawn in sweeping single strokes, with tapering blades and dry-brush shading, offering a designer examples of gestural line, negative space and asymmetric placement.
