閣竜世界博覧会美術品画譜 第2集
A Meiji-period Japanese picture book published in 1894 by Okura Shoten, illustrated by Kubota Beisen to show art objects from the Japanese exhibition at a world's fair. The pictures are woodblock-style line illustrations of decorative patterns, a bird scene, a vase and a bird among flowers. A designer might take from them the flowing scrolls, stylised foliage and compact arrangements of birds and plants used in Japanese ornament.
