楳嶺花鳥画譜 躑躅・〔ヤマバト〕(収載資料名:あづまにしきゑ)
A Japanese ehon picture book of flowers and birds by Baiei, published in 1883, probably intended for artists and collectors of Meiji-period woodblock prints. The single print shows two plump doves perched among azalea blossoms and climbing vines, with a calligraphic inscription in the upper left. A designer might take its restrained palette of soft pinks, greens and cream, and its clean outlines that place birds and flowers across the page with plenty of open space.
