楳嶺画譜 第３編 虫類之部
A Meiji-period Japanese picture book (ehon) of 1886, illustrated by Kono Baiyo and published by Sasada Yahei, presenting insects for artists and students of botanical and animal drawing. The pictures are monochrome woodblock-printed line drawings of insects set among flowers and leaves, with dense hatching on dark foliage and open white petals, offering a designer clear models for compact, lightly shaded natural motifs and for arranging small creatures against plant silhouettes.
