Kaiga Kōshū Roku

A picture book edited by Kanritsu Kida and entitled Kaiga Kōshū Roku (i.e. Painting Training Course Book) was published in 1908 to provide art students with models to trace or copy. It included the thirty-nine woodblock-prints pictures of flowers and (or) birds shown below. Click on a picture to enlarge it. These pictures were drawn by artists who used a drawing style called Nihonga which blended the realism of European art with creative self expression of a Chinese style of art.
