楳嶺花鳥画譜 罌子粟・鷭(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 picture book (ehon) by the painter Baiyō, published in 1883 in Tokyo by Ōkura Magobei, presenting flower-and-bird studies for artists and craftsmen. The single plate shows peonies and poppies in pink, white and purple above two dark waterfowl at a pond's edge, framed by a patterned border with a printed label at top right. A designer might take its layered botanical composition, its limited palette of pinks, cream and deep green, and the way a tall flower stalk is set against a plain ground.
