楳嶺花鳥画譜 春、夏之部

幸野楳嶺 画 · 1899 · 大倉書店 · 13 pictures

A Japanese ehon picture book of flower-and-bird studies, drawn by Kōno Bairei and published by Ōkura Shoten in 1899 in Japan for artists and craft students. The pictures are woodblock-style monochrome double-page spreads of blossoms, perched birds, ducks and waterside scenes, with dense black silhouettes against open white ground that a designer could use for compositional balance and line-based motifs.
