花鳥画譜
A Meiji-era Japanese picture book of flower and bird studies, published in 1879 by Kobayashi Kichigoro and written by Asai Oisui, intended as a model book for artists and print makers. The pictures are woodblock-style black-and-white line drawings of birds, blossoms, bamboo, pine and Mount Fuji, with bold outlines, sparse ground lines and rain or snow suggested by hatching, a clear template for decorative botanical and bird motifs.
