浮世絵画帖
A Japanese ukiyo-e picture album, printed in 1911 with the catalogue giving no publisher, collecting woodblock-style prints of birds, flowers and landscapes for a general art-loving readership. Its plates show flowering plants with a bird in flight, chrysanthemums against a vertical panel of calligraphy, a pale blossom branch on a dark ground, and a rocky coastal arch under a pine. A designer might borrow the strong black silhouettes, the vertical kakemono-style panels and the sparse placement of motifs on open grounds.
