文濤習画帖 4

岡文濤 編・書 · 1909 · 若林茂一郎[ほか] · 18 pictures

A Japanese ink-painting practice album (ehon) compiled and written by Oka Buntō and published in 1909 by Wakabayashi Shigeichirō and others, intended for students learning brush technique. The four pictures show a weeping willow branch with drooping leaves, a bare willow twig, a sprig of leaves on a thin stem, and a flowering branch with a seal mark, rendered in loose, dry-brush strokes that a designer could borrow for botanical linework and quick ink silhouettes.
