絵本野山草 5巻 [1]

橘, 保国, 橘保国画 · 1806 · 柳原喜兵衛 · 38 pictures

Ehon Nozan Sō, volume 5 of a Japanese woodblock picture book on wild mountain and field plants, drawn by Tachibana Yasukuni and published in 1806 by Yanagihara Kihei, aimed at readers wanting botanical reference. The pictures show ink-line plants with dark green accents on mottled paper, with lilies, ferns, orchids and chrysanthemum-like blooms drawn in clear, sparse outlines that suggest simple, reusable botanical motifs for pattern or decorative layouts.
