花鳥画譜 : 絵しまの浪 第1号
A Meiji-era Japanese ehon picture book of flower-and-bird studies, drawn by Fukui Kōtei and published in 1896 by Ōtsuka Shūkichi for a general audience of art students and craftsmen. The pages are woodblock-printed line drawings of birds, pheasants, wisteria and foliage, with some plates showing solid black silhouetted leaves; a designer could take economical contour linework, open white negative space and the placement of single motifs across a page spread.
