楳嶺花鳥画譜 藤花・〔ヤマバト〕(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 picture book (ehon) of flower and bird paintings by Baigan... no, by 楳嶺 (Baiyō/Bairei), published in Tokyo in 1883 by the publisher Ōkura Magobei for a general audience of collectors and artists. The single plate shows a yellow-green wild pigeon perched among violet wisteria racemes, with blossoming branches, a distant hut and mountain behind, and a printed poem column at lower left; a designer might take the vertical composition, the pale ground, and the balance of pendent flower clusters against a perched bird.
