長文館画譜
A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) by Miyata Rokuzaemon, published in 1887 by the same publisher, consisting of woodblock-printed sketches in ink for general readers. The pictures are loose brush-and-ink studies: a bamboo branch with spiky leaves, a sparrow perched on a cylindrical vessel beside a long-handled tool, a narrow sprig against a plain ground, and two boys in kimono playing flute and drum, each with an artist's seal and signature. A designer could take the economical brushwork, open negative space, and seal-and-signature placement as models for minimal ink illustration.
