省亭花鳥画譜 3之巻
Shōtei Kachō Gafu volume 3 is a Japanese ehon picture book of flower and bird studies by Watanabe Shōtei, published in Tokyo by Ōkura Magobei in 1892 for a readership of painters and craftsmen. Its pictures are loose ink-brush sketches of branches, leaves, grasses and a single frog, with large areas of blank paper, which a designer could borrow for minimal botanical compositions and negative space.
