楳嶺花鳥画譜 木芙蓉・鷸（収載資料名：あづまにしきゑ）
A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock print from 1883 by the artist Bairei, part of a flower-and-bird picture album made for a general audience of collectors and print lovers. The image pairs large pale hibiscus blooms with long-billed snipes wading in shallow water, rendered in soft washes and crisp outlines. A designer could take its airy negative space, the tonal gradation of the leaves, and the way a brushed inscription panel sits in the upper corner.
