楳嶺花鳥画譜 黄蜀葵・錦鶏(収載資料名:あづまにしきゑ)

楳嶺 · 1883 · 1 picture

A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) of flower-and-bird studies by the painter Baiyō, published in 1883 and likely intended for artists and students of decorative painting. The page shows a yellow hibiscus-like flower with a pheasant and a quail on the ground, drawn in flat colour with a framed border and a printed text panel; a designer could take its close pairing of large blooms with small birds and its loose, airy ground of tiny pink flowers.
