中等日本画帖 巻之３
A Meiji-era Japanese picture manual (ehon) titled Chūtō Nihon Gasen, volume 3, illustrated by Hashimoto Gaho and published in Tokyo in 1905 by Gakkai Shishinsha as a model for students of painting. Its pictures are sparse ink studies of bamboo, a turtle on a rock, umbelliferous flowers, and a pair of sparrows, with seal marks, showing economical brushwork and open white ground a designer could borrow for minimal botanical or animal motifs.
