About this book,

*Chigusanohana* is a four-volume illustrated botanical atlas created by the Meiji-era Kyoto-based Japanese-style painter Kōno Bairai —a Kyoto-based Japanese-style painter of the Meiji era who nurtured masters such as Seihō Takeuchi—and comprises four volumes in total. It features 200 accurate woodblock prints of plants and trees, edited by the botanist Akio Yamamoto, accompanied by detailed explanations of form and colouring techniques. This work is of great artistic and academic value, having been used as a model by his pupils at the time to learn how to paint. This volume is the first in the series.

About our store

We offer a fine selection of beautiful woodcut books, design books and woodblock prints made in Japan. Many of our books were used as reference materials for Japanese industrial design some 150-50 years ago. Their designs are surprisingly unique and beautiful, and seem to compare favourably or even surpass contemporary designs. We hope that our design books will be used in contemporary design.

Woodblock printing as a printing technique is also amazingly precise, but at the same time offers a unique and beautiful texture.

We hope you enjoy our collection of Eirando Books.
