文華亭主人 画 · 1891 · いろは書房 · 58 pictures

A Japanese ehon picture book published in 1891 by Iroha Shobo, with pictures attributed to Bunkatei Shujin, a book of simplified brush sketches meant for students copying landscape motifs. Its pages show pines, bamboo, mountains, thatched huts and misty ridges drawn in quick, economical ink lines, which a designer could take as a model for spare, sketchy linework and for leaving much of the page as open white space.
