狩野常信花鳥画譜 続編

福井月斎 縮図 · 1895 · 青木嵩山堂 · 13 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1895 by Aoki Sūzandō, a reduced copy by Fukui Gessai of Kano Tsunenobu's bird-and-flower paintings, made for artists and craftsmen studying Japanese composition. The pictures are monochrome line and ink-wash plates of birds on blossoming branches, rocks, and waterfalls, with sparse space and asymmetric placement a designer could borrow for layout or pattern work.
