新定画帖解説 尋常小学 1学年用
A 1916 Japanese primary-school drawing manual, the first-year volume of the Shinteigacho kaisetsu series, written by Shiraha Chō and published by Dai Nippon Tosho for pupils learning to draw. The pictures are rough, grainy black-and-white plates of horizon lines, shaded ground bands, vertical strokes, and geometric hexagon outlines, with a designer taking from them a spare, step-by-step diagrammatic way of building a scene from simple bars and shapes.
