新定画帖応用画集 第6学年

上地逸太郎 画 · 1911 · 上地逸太郎 · 67 pictures

A 1911 Japanese drawing manual titled 新定画帖応用画集 第6学年, illustrated by 上地逸太郎 and published by him, aimed at sixth-year school pupils learning applied drawing. The pictures are simple black-and-white line sketches of plants, a vase-like object, waves under a dark sky, and a potted bonsai, with a few dashed guide lines and Japanese annotations. A designer might take their economical brush-like linework and clear outlines as a model for minimal botanical or nature motifs.
