椿山画譜

椿椿山 画 · 1922 · 青谷文聖堂 · 10 pictures

A Japanese picture book of ink-and-colour flower and bird paintings by the artist Chinzan, published in 1922 by Seikokudo in the ehon tradition for those studying painting. The pictures are monochrome reproductions of brush paintings showing small birds on blossoming branches, magnolias, peonies and reeds, with loose washes and sparse composition a designer could borrow for negative space and botanical motifs.
