女子師範毛筆画帖 ６の巻
A 1905 Japanese picture manual by Hashimoto Gaho, published by Chugai Tosho Kyoku, a brush-painting model book for women teacher-training students. Its pages show ink-brush studies of chrysanthemums, a windswept pine beside a thatched house, rippling water with rocks, and a standing woman in a patterned robe, drawn with confident outline and flat black silhouette. A designer might borrow the economy of these pages: sparse ground lines, a single bold dark mass set against open white paper, and a calligraphic contour.
