楳嶺花鳥画譜 菖蒲・鷺（収載資料名：あづまにしきゑ）
A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock print from 1883, published in Tokyo by Okura Magobei, from the flower-and-bird picture book Baien kachō gafu by the painter Baien, shown here in a design of irises and herons. The image shows two white herons wading among purple and pale irises at a riverbank with distant rooftops, with the subject set in a bordered panel. A designer could take its economical composition, with tall diagonal leaves framing a single flowing bird, and its soft, layered colour of violet and grey-green against cream.
