鶴巣集

原坦山 著 · 1884 · 仏仙社 · 5 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese calligraphy album titled 鶴巣集, written by Hara Tanzan and published in 1884 by Busshensha, likely for readers of Buddhist-inspired brush art. The four pictures show bold, ink-heavy single characters with dry-brush edges and speckled ground, suggesting strong black masses and gestural strokes a designer could adapt for brush-style lettering or bold graphic marks.
