花鳥画譜
A Japanese ehon picture book of birds and flowers, illustrated by Watanabe Seitei and published by Okura Shoten in 1903 for artists and students of painting. Its pictures are monochrome ink-and-wash studies of songbirds and woodpeckers perched on bare branches, with loose, sketchy line and plenty of empty paper that a designer might borrow for negative space and minimal botanical compositions.
