中等日本画帖 巻之4

橋本雅邦 画 · 1905 · 学海指針社 · 13 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book of ink-style drawings by Hashimoto Gaho, published in 1905 by Gakkai Shishinsha, probably as a model album for students of Japanese painting. The pictures are monochrome, with fine line and grey wash rendering flowering branches, an iris, a peony and a goldfish among pine sprigs, offering a designer clean botanical and animal motifs with open negative space and simple tonal shading.
