四季花鳥画譜
A Japanese ehon picture book of flowers and birds, published in 1891 by Kobunkan and illustrated by Ekisai Gyoshi, likely for artists and craftsmen studying bird and flower motifs. The woodblock-style pages show birds perched among blossoms, cranes beside chrysanthemums, and mandarin ducks on water, with fine linework and the sparse, open composition of Japanese flower-and-bird painting that designers can adapt for botanical and bird patterns.
