Profusely illustrated set of images of birds and ducks, often quite surreal renderings, ostensibly after designs by Tsuchida Eishō 土田英章, the mid-19th century painter, here re-interpreted by internationally recognized Nihonga artist Takeuchi Seihō 竹内栖鳳 (1864 - 1942), the 20th century master, and subtly printed by Unsōdō 芸艸堂. A brief notice can be seen at Mitchell, p. 249, referencing Brown, p. 202.
Very unusual work, complete in a clasped chitsu case. Very good colors, impressions, condition.
