日本画譜 1,2

松本楓湖 編 · 1891 · 金港堂 · 18 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Matsumoto Fuyō and published by Kinkōdō in 1891, offering model drawings in Japanese painting styles for students and artists. The pictures are ink line drawings of landscapes with willows and mist, a pine-lined path, a herder riding an ox beneath a bare plum tree, and robed figures in a garden, rendered with crisp contour and washes of tone that a designer could use for simple, economical line art and figure studies.
