楳嶺花鳥画譜 時計草・桑鳥(収載資料名:あづまにしきゑ)

楳嶺 · 1883 · 大倉孫兵衛 · 1 picture

This Meiji-era Japanese woodblock print from 1883, published by Ōkura Magobei and made by the artist Baigo, is a page from a flower-and-bird picture album (ehon) made for connoisseurs and general buyers. The image shows passionflowers climbing a trellis above a stream with two small finches, rendered in flat colour with crisp outlines and open negative space that a designer could borrow for botanical or nature-themed layouts.
