楳嶺画譜 第1編 花鳥之部
A Japanese ehon picture album of birds and flowers, drawn by Kono Baiyo (Kōno Bairyō) and published in Kyoto in 1886 for general readers and artists learning the brush-and-ink manner. The four pictures show a duck among reeds, a hawk swooping over clover, a pair of owls in a tree, and birds perched on a pine-shaded rail, all in crisp black-and-white line with loose wash shading that a designer could borrow for asymmetric compositions and negative space.
