余の漫画帖から

伊東忠太 著 · 1922 · 実業之日本社 · 24 pictures

A 1922 Japanese sketchbook of cartoons by the architect Itō Chūta, published by Jitsugyō no Nihonsha, and the pictures show travel scenes from abroad. Palm-lined village huts, a traveller with donkeys and dogs, and a pig-filled courtyard with tall wooden stockades are drawn in loose ink line with simple hatching, offering a designer a plain, sketchy vernacular style for depicting everyday life in hot, rural settings.
