景年花鳥画譜 夏之部
A Japanese woodblock picture book of birds and flowers, drawn by Imao Keinen and published in Tokyo in 1892 for artists and craft students who copied its motifs. The pictures are ink line drawings of birds among blossoms, reeds and foliage, with sparse shading and generous white ground, showing how a few confident contour lines can suggest plumage, leaves and water for pattern or illustration work.
