雲樵画譜 ５
A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) by Ikeda Unshō, published in 1880 by Hosokawa Seisuke, presumably for artists and students learning to draw. Its pages are monochrome ink line drawings of rural buildings, thatched roofs, fences, trees and a stone bridge, with plain, economical strokes and open white ground. A designer might take its simple hatching and line-based roof and rooftop structures as a model for sketchy architectural linework.
