新式画帖 1巻

小松文雄 編・画 · 1909 · 片川兼助 · 15 pictures

A Japanese ehon picture album titled 新式画帖, compiled and drawn by Komatsu Fumio and published by Katagawa Kensuke in 1909, presenting simple geometric forms and plant studies for copying. The pictures are brush-like ink outlines of a circle and a cone, alongside sprigs of orchid-like leaves and bellflower stems, with a few Chinese characters as labels, giving a designer clean sketch-like motifs and sparse botanical line work with loose ink texture.
