楳嶺花鳥画譜 蓮・鵞(収載資料名:あづまにしきゑ)

楳嶺 · 1883 · 大倉孫兵衛 · 1 picture

A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock print from a flower-and-bird picture album, published in Tokyo in 1883 by Okura Magobei and drawn by the artist Baichō for a general audience of collectors and readers. The page shows white lotus blooms with broad green leaves and a pair of geese on water, with a small pavilion on the far bank, rendered in flat colour and crisp outline. A designer might take its layered botanical composition, the large cropped leaves framing the scene, and the restrained pale palette with dark green accents.
