景文花鳥画譜

福井月斎 縮写 · 1892 · 青木恒三郎 · 33 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese ehon picture book of birds and flowers, reduced and copied in 1892 by Fukui Gessai and published by Aoki Tsunesaburo for a general audience of painters and collectors. The four pictures show birds perched or in flight among leaves and blossoms in sparse ink-line woodblock style, with generous white space and rounded, simplified foliage a designer could adapt for botanical or nature motifs.
