女子師範毛筆画帖 3の巻

橋本雅邦 著 · 1905 · 中外図書局 · 14 pictures

A Japanese brush-painting primer for women's normal school students, compiled by the painter Hashimoto Gaho and published in Tokyo by Chugai Tosho in 1905. The pages teach ink sketching of plants and objects. The pictures are sparse black-brush studies with open white space, such as a bare branch with a seal, a pine trunk leaning over water, and drooping willow or wisteria-like sprays, which suggest economical linework and negative space for minimalist layouts.
