玉洲習画帖 2

藤井玉洲 画 · 1906 · 松田庄助 · 14 pictures

A Japanese drawing manual of 1906 by Fujii Gyokushu, published by Matsuda Shosuke, a practice book for students of ink-brush plant drawing. The four plates show branches and sprigs rendered in bold silhouette and fine brushed line, with pale wash and dotted stippling, which suggests a designer could borrow the economy of sparse botanical ink drawing for simple leaf and blossom motifs.
