岩手県教育会盛岡市部会 編 · 1911 · 九皐堂 · 136 pictures

A 1911 Japanese instructional manual compiled by the Iwate Prefecture Education Association's Morioka branch and published by Kōkōdō, apparently for teachers handling drawing-course materials. The pictures are rough line sketches in ink: a set square with a round hole, a rectangular board with a dashed centre line, a bird on a branch, and a pitched-roof house with dashed construction lines, which a designer might take as simple geometric diagrams for reducing forms to basic shapes.
