菊花画譜
A 1918 Japanese chrysanthemum picture book issued by the Inoko Ikusūsha horticultural nursery, a record of cultivated flower varieties for gardeners and growers. Its photographs are black-and-white studies of single blooms shot against a dark ground, with pale spidery petals radiating from the centre; a designer might take from them the spiked, radiating structure of the spider chrysanthemum form for pattern or botanical motifs.
