女子師範毛筆画帖 1の巻

橋本雅邦 著 · 1905 · 中外図書局 · 16 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese brush-painting manual for women's normal school students, written by Hashimoto Gaho and published in Tokyo in 1905 by Chugai Tosho-kyoku. The pictures are ink studies of bamboo leaves and stalks, a round fan with a black handle, and a few bold brushstrokes, all drawn with a sure, economical line that a designer could borrow for minimal botanical or calligraphic motifs.
