玉泉習画帖 鳳
A Japanese drawing manual (ehon) by Mochizuki Gyokusen, published in 1891 by Tanaka Jihei, meant for students learning to paint plants in the Japanese style. The pictures are woodblock-printed botanical studies of flowering branches, leaves and vines in bold black silhouettes with fine outline strokes and open white ground, offering a designer clean, strong patterns of foliage and blossom to adapt for motifs and line-based decoration.
