小学日本画帖 ６
A Meiji-era Japanese ehon picture album of brush-style sketches, published in 1900 by Saikinsha and drawn by Fukada Naoki as an introduction to Japanese painting for beginners. The four pictures show a morning glory vine, a lotus bud and seed pod, a folded paper crane beside bamboo leaves, and a camellia branch, each in clean ink outline with a small red seal. A designer could take the economical line weight, the open white space around single motifs, and the way one plant or object fills a sparse page.
