楳嶺花鳥画譜 棣棠・〔ウ〕(収載資料名:あづまにしきゑ)

楳嶺 · 大倉孫兵衛 · 1 picture

A Japanese ehon picture book published by Okura Magobei, made by the artist Baiyō (Bai-ryō, 楳嶺) as a single flower-and-bird print from his flower-and-bird album. The image shows a cormorant perched on a dark stake above water, beside a bank of yellow kerria roses, with a distant village and hills behind. A designer might take from it the flat colour blocks, the calm asymmetric placement of a bird on the left against a rising mass of blossom, and the pale washed sky with a red title panel.
