楳嶺花鳥画譜 芦・鷂(収載資料名:あづまにしきゑ)

楳嶺 · 1883 · 1 picture

A Meiji-era Japanese flower-and-bird picture book (ehon) by the painter Baiyō, published in 1883 and aimed at artists and students of the decorative bird-and-flower genre. The single print shows a grey reed-warbler-like bird flying above reeds and a river, with clusters of red berries and a smaller bird below. A designer might take its muted palette of grey, sage and red accents, its diagonal composition of reeds, and its use of a text panel set against the image.
