虫類画譜
A Japanese ehon picture book of insects, drawn by Morimoto Tōkaku and published by Geisōdō in 1910, offering woodblock-style studies of insects among plants. The pictures are black-and-white and range from a dense dark leaf-and-flower study to sparse botanical sprigs with butterflies and a dragonfly, using crisp contour lines and bold silhouettes a designer might borrow for natural motifs or Japanese-style line work.
