楳嶺花鳥画譜 菊・風鳥(収載資料名:あづまにしきゑ)

楳嶺 · 1883 · 大倉孫兵衛 · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print from 1883, published by Okura Magobei and drawn by Baiyō (楳嶺), a Meiji-era painter, in a flower-and-bird picture album made for popular Tokyo readers. The sheet shows blue-grey birds perched among chrysanthemums, with a printed text panel at lower left. A designer could take its tight framing, layered chrysanthemum heads in red, pink and cream against a pale ground, and its crisp outline colour work.
