On the laws of Japanese painting : an introduction to the study of the art of Japan
A 1911 San Francisco manual by Henry P. Bowie, written with Japanese advisers for Western students and artists learning brush painting method. The plates are paired brush studies in grey and black ink—pine boughs, willow and oak branches, trunks, foliage dabs—each isolated on pale paper, useful as brushstroke vocabulary, tree silhouettes, and spare asymmetric page layouts.
