玉洲習画帖 5

藤井玉洲 画 · 1906 · 松田庄助 · 11 pictures

A Japanese drawing manual (ehon) of ink sketches by Fujii Gyokushu, published by Matsuda Shosuke in 1906 as a model book for students of painting. Its pictures are monochrome ink studies of rocky mountain landscapes, a seated hare, blossoming branches and dark conifers, with stamped seals placed in the margins. A designer could take from them the economy of single-weight brushlines, the use of blank paper as sky and mist, and tonal shading built from hatched dots.
