新定画帖応用画集 第5学年

上地逸太郎 画 · 1911 · 上地逸太郎 · 63 pictures

A 1911 Japanese drawing-instruction album titled 新定画帖応用画集 第5学年, produced by Ichitaro Kamiji (上地逸太郎) for fifth-grade pupils as an applied-design exercise book. The four pictures show geometric emblems built from circles, lobes and petals within outlines, drawn in simple line and hatching. A designer might take from them the economical construction of symmetrical roundel and rosette motifs, with radial division of a circle, hexagon or octagon.
