美術吟光画譜

安達吟光 画 · 1891 · 弘文館 · 43 pictures

A Japanese picture book (ehon) illustrated by Adachi Ginko and published by Kobunkan in 1891, printed in woodblock-style line art with Chinese-character captions. The pictures show birds such as sparrows, a heron, and a hawk in grasses and reeds, plus a dramatic figure in flowing robes; a designer might take its economical brushlike contour lines and the dynamic bird-in-flight compositions.
