Goitsu Picture Album: Quick Practice for Beginners (Goitsu gafu: Shōgaku hayageiko 五逸画譜初学早稽古)
Goitsu Picture Album: Quick Practice for Beginners is a Japanese woodblock instruction book by Kawamura Kihō (1778-1852), published in Kyoto and Osaka for novice artists learning to draw. The pages show everyday scenes of people, dogs and household objects in loose ink line. A designer could take from them the economy of single-weight contour lines and the simple, uncluttered way figures and interiors are reduced to a few strokes.
