楳嶺花鳥画譜 海石榴・鳧(収載資料名:あづまにしきゑ)

楳嶺 · 1883 · 1 picture

A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock print from the 1883 Baigan (Bai Ling) flower-and-bird picture album, published in Japan for artists and collectors of ehon picture books. The page shows pink camellias and two mallard-like ducks beside a stream, with a printed text column in the upper left. A designer could take its flat colour areas, layered leaf shapes, and the balanced placement of blossoms against a water edge.
