女子師範毛筆画帖 ４の巻
A Japanese brush-painting model book (ehon) for women's normal school students, written by Hashimoto Gaho's name-form Hashimoto Masakuni 橋本雅邦 and published by Chūgai Tosho-kyoku in Tokyo in 1905. The plates are simple ink studies of plant sprigs, maple leaves and a tea bowl with a bamboo whisk and seal, drawn for students copying brushwork. A designer could take from them the economy of single-stroke botanical forms, open negative space, and the red seal placed in the corner as a framing device.
