新式画帖 3巻
A Japanese drawing manual titled 新式画帖 (Shinshiki Gajō, 'new-style drawing album') in three volumes, compiled and drawn by Komatsu Fumio and published in 1909 by Katagawa Kensuke, likely for students learning draughtsmanship. Its pictures are geometric construction diagrams in plain black line: radial spokes inside circles, rings of circles set within a larger circle, nested squares and octagons, and an ellipse built from intersecting arcs with lettered points. A designer could take from them clear methods for building radial symmetry, circle packing and ellipse-based forms.
