米僊画帖
A Japanese ehon picture album of ink paintings by Kubota Beisen, published in 1900 by Ogawa Kazuma in Japan for a general audience of collectors and art lovers. The pictures are loose brush sketches in grey ink wash with calligraphic inscriptions and red seals, showing a bare winter branch over water, a robed figure in a wind-blown cloak, plum or camellia blossoms with inscribed verse, and a mountain shrine with a figure leaping among pines. A designer might borrow the economical brushwork, open negative space, and the way text and seal are placed in the corners.
