潜竜堂画譜 3 花鳥之部,
A Japanese ehon picture book of flower and bird subjects, published in 1882 in Meiji-era Japan by Matsuzaki Hanzō from a text by Takizawa Kiyoshi, intended as a model collection for artists and students of painting. Its pictures are fine black-line woodblock drawings on plain white paper, with birds perched among chrysanthemum, plum blossom, maple and pine, and a designer could take from them the economy of single contour lines and open white space that frames a single motif.
