草花画譜
A Japanese ehon picture book of flowers and plants, illustrated by Adachi Ginkō and published in 1898 by Uozumi Shoten, probably for botanical and decorative study by a general readership. The pictures are black-and-white woodblock-style plant drawings with bold dark silhouettes of leaves and blossoms beside fine line sketches, with Japanese captions beside each specimen; a designer might borrow the contrast of solid ink shapes against open linework and the stylised botanical arrangement.
