是真画譜

柴田是真 画 · 1901 · 長谷川常次郎 · 20 pictures

A Japanese ehon picture book published in 1901 by Hasegawa Tsunejiro, drawn by Shibata Zeshin for a readership of painters and collectors. The pictures are loose monochrome ink brushwork with sparse outlines and grey wash, showing figures, animals and blank space in the manner of sketchbook studies; a designer might take the economy of line, the use of empty paper as ground, and the way a small figure is set against a large one.
