鶯邨畫譜
A Japanese ehon picture book printed in 1800 by Suharaya Sukesuke, with paintings attributed to Hōitsu (Sakai Hōitsu, here given as Hōitsu 抱一) for a general audience of artists and collectors. The pages show flowers, plants and leaves in soft colour with minimal outline, set on pale cream paper with open space around each motif. A designer could take the economical brushwork, the sparse placement of single plants across a spread, and the restrained palette of greens, yellows and blue-violet.
