其玉画譜
A Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Kobayashi Bunshichi and published by him in 1901, offering plant and flower studies for artists and craftsmen. The pages show flat, stylised botanical motifs printed in bold black masses and fine linework, with the seal marks of the artist-compiler in the corners. A designer might take from them the strong silhouettes of leaves and blossoms, the contrast of solid black against open white, and the decorative curl of stylised waves.
