景年習画帖 第7
A Meiji-era Japanese sketch manual (ehon) of figure drawings by Imao Keinen, published by Yamada Unsodo in 1905 for students and practitioners of painting. The pictures are ink-line figure studies of Japanese men and women in seated and kneeling poses, drawn with loose brush contours and light grey wash. A designer could take their economical outline gesture, the simple sweep of robes and hair, and the seal stamps placed in the margins.
