楳嶺花鳥画譜 草綿・真鶴(収載資料名:あづまにしきゑ)
A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock print from a flower-and-bird picture book (ehon) by the artist Baiyō-style painter Bairei, dated 1883 and made for a general reading public. The page shows two grey cranes beside yellow hibiscus-like flowers and green leaves, with a pale lake shore and hills behind, framed by a patterned border. A designer could draw on its restrained tonal palette, the balance of tall bird against sprawling foliage, and the decorative frame with its calligraphic cartouche.
