臨写画帖
A Meiji-era Japanese picture book of ink line drawings, compiled by Hiraki Masaji and published in 1887 by Katatani Seizō, presumably as a model-copying album for students of drawing. Its pictures show a tree with dense foliage, a figure in layered robes with a ceremonial hat, a bald robed man, and a plank bridge over a stream, all drawn in clean hatched line with little tone. A designer could take from them the economical contour and hatching used to render cloth folds, bark texture and foliage without shading.
