最新図画教授法
A 1911 Japanese drawing-instruction manual (最新図画教授法) by Nishimatsu Danzō, published by Shobidō, aimed at teachers and pupils learning to draw. Its pictures are simple line drawings: a geometric octagon-in-circle diagram with Katakana labels, a frontal and a profile rabbit labelled (イ) and (ロ), and a page of pattern blocks with scattered leaf-like motifs. A designer might take from them the economy of bold outline and the way a single animal is reduced to a few confident strokes.
