花壇叢木画譜 6巻 [1]

1813 · 松本新助 [ほか6名] · 6 pictures

A Japanese woodblock picture book in six volumes, published in 1813 by Matsumoto Shinsuke and six others, offering plant studies for artists and craftsmen. The pictures are plain black-line drawings of peonies and related flowering branches, with leaves and buds drawn in outline and occasional Japanese captions. A designer might take their clean contour lines, the layered botanical forms and the sparse, uncolored style as a model for line-based floral motifs.
