楳嶺花鳥画譜 蝋梅・鸚鵡(収載資料名:あづまにしきゑ)

楳嶺 · 1883 · 1 picture

A Meiji-era Japanese ehon picture book of flower and bird subjects by the painter Baiei, printed in 1883 for connoisseurs and artists. The single plate shows a white parrot in a red cage beside yellow wintersweet blossoms in a dark woven vase, with two small birds perched on the cage and branches. A designer could take its flat colour areas, the framed margin with calligraphic cartouche, and the arrangement of blossoms and cage lines against the cream ground.
