中等毛筆画帖 第3巻
A Japanese brush-painting instruction album (中等毛筆画帖 volume 3) by Hashimoto Gaho, published in Tokyo in 1905 by Chugai Tosho Kyoku for students learning ink and brush technique. Its pictures are reproduced as faint, grainy plates of botanical studies: willow-like drooping leaves, a lanceolate leaf sprig, a rose with bud and leaves, and iris-like blades, showing how loose ink strokes build up leaf and stem forms that a designer could borrow for quick botanical line work.
