華山画譜 下
A Japanese ehon picture-manual of 1880, compiled by Hitomi Shinshirō (人見甚四郎) and published by Seyama Naojirō in Japan, meant as a model book for drawing and painting. Its pages show rows of small bald-headed children in loose robes, drawn in ink with light grey wash and crisp contour lines, posed in kneeling, reaching, reading and playful gestures that a designer could borrow for simple figure studies with a clear, economical line.
