新選文林画譜 梅
A Meiji-era Japanese ehon picture manual on plum blossom (ume) painting, published in 1892 by Sekizenkan under the compiler Suzuki Seikei, made as a model book for students of brush painting. The pages are woodblock-printed line drawings of plum branches with blossoms at different stages, many with short Chinese or Japanese captions, and the sparse black linework and clustered five-petal flowers offer a designer a clear reference for botanical line motifs, branch rhythm, and negative space on a page.
