Album of Sketches
Album of Sketches is a Japanese ink-and-colour sketchbook with no maker, date or intended audience given in its record. The pictures show brush sketches on pale paper: a woman in a robe beside a dark ink-washed tree, blossoming branches, and a group of comic figures with a monkey and a large mirror. A designer could take the loose, economical brushwork and the restrained palette of ochre, grey and pale green.
