水彩絵手本
A Japanese illustrated drawing manual titled 水彩絵手本 by Nakamura Fuon (中村不折), published in Tokyo by Hakubunkan in 1910 as a model book for students of watercolour-style sketching. The pictures are tonal, halftone-like reproductions of landscapes with bare trees, a thatched house, and flowering branches, with dense black masses against open white paper that a designer could take as strong figure-ground contrast and simple gestural foliage.
