新撰中等習画帖 第1巻

小林万吾 編 · 1919 · 国光印刷 · 18 pictures

A 1919 Japanese drawing manual, compiled by Kobayashi Mango and printed by Kokko Insatsu, meant for intermediate students learning to draw. Its pictures are clean line engravings of classical architectural ornament, including Corinthian and Ionic capitals, scrolled acanthus leaves, and a fluted column with a drapery swag, showing how carved foliage and volutes are built up from simple shapes and shading that a designer could reuse for borders, column motifs, or decorative line work.
