鉄翁画譜

倉野煌園 編 · 1886 · 鴻盟社 · 57 pictures

A Meiji-period Japanese ehon picture book of ink paintings, compiled by Kurano Kōen and published in 1886 by Kōmeisha, for students and admirers of painting in the Japanese brush tradition. Its pictures are sparse ink studies of orchids and grasses with dry-brush strokes, small seals and inscribed calligraphy, showing a designer how economy of line and open white space can carry a composition.
