(裏表紙)(収載資料名:広重画帖)

1 picture

This is a Japanese picture album whose record gives only the title and subject 'ehon', so the date, maker and audience are not stated here. The image is the back cover, a yellow-ground paper with a dense repeat of flowering branches, leaves and birds in red, green and blue. A designer could take the warm ochre ground and the close, interlocking floral pattern as a surface motif for textiles or packaging.
