雲樵画譜［第１冊]１、２

池田雲樵著 · 1880 · 細川清助 · 74 pictures

A Japanese woodblock picture manual (ehon) by Ikeda Unsho, published in 1880 by Hosokawa Seisuke, intended as a model book for students of flower and plant painting. Its pages show loosely brushed sprays of leaves, blossoms and buds, some with red-stamped artist seals and handwritten inscriptions, and a designer could borrow their economical line, open negative space and asymmetrical arrangement of branches for botanical or decorative motifs.
