楳嶺花鳥画譜 桔梗・鶏(収載資料名:あづまにしきゑ)

楳嶺 · 1883 · 大倉孫兵衛 · 1 picture

This is a Meiji-era Japanese woodblock picture book, a flower-and-bird album (kachō-ga) published in 1883 by Ōkura Magobei and made by the artist Bairei. The page shows a rooster and hen beside blue bellflowers and fences, with a printed Japanese text panel and red seal in the corner. Designers can take its restrained palette of soft greens, blues and warm ochres, and its clean, economical line drawing of birds and blossoms.
