帝国習画帖教授要旨 : 透視画法

印藤真楯, 岡村増太郎 著 · 1892 · 博文館 · 17 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese instructional manual on linear perspective, published in 1892 by Hakubunkan in Tokyo and written by Into Matate and Okamura Masutaro for students learning drawing. Its pictures are plain geometric diagrams of vanishing points, sight lines and boxes drawn with Chinese-character labels, so a designer might borrow their clean construction logic for layouts that recede into depth.
