中等毛筆画帖 第7巻

橋本雅邦 著 · 1905 · 中外図書局 · 17 pictures

A 1905 Japanese ink-brush painting manual (中等毛筆画帖 vol. 7) by Hashimoto Gaho, published in Tokyo by Chugai Tosho Kyoku for intermediate students learning brush painting. The four pictures show a pine branch over rocks and a distant pavilion in sumi-style line and wash, a decorative cloud-scroll pattern with calligraphic seal-like characters, the bow of a boat cutting through waves, and a pine-lined shore reduced to bold tonal masses, suggesting how brush strokes can build landscape, ornament and water with economical line.
