養素斎画譜 第2編
A Japanese ehon picture album, the second volume of the Yōsosai gafu, drawn by Imao Keinen and published in 1900 by Tanaka Jihei. The four plates show a bird in flight over maple branches, bare twisted branches above a rock, birds in dark silhouette against a pale sky, and a misty rocky gorge. A designer could draw on the strong tonal contrast between dark silhouette and empty white ground, and on the economical placement of motifs at the edge of the frame.
