景年習画帖 第2
A Japanese ehon drawing manual, volume 2 of Keinen's sketching album, painted by Imao Keinen and published in 1905 by Yamada Geisodo in Japan for students learning to paint. The pictures show plant studies in ink, with branches of flowering trees, leafy sprigs and fruit rendered in loose brushwork and stamped seals. A designer could take from them the economy of ink line and wash, with open negative space and asymmetric diagonal branch placement.
