Ornament designs. 4 Japanese coloured woodcuts from an ehon with design motifs and pattern templates for textiles and decorative applications. 18 x 13 cm each (representation). Under passepartout with multicolored fillets. Kyoto around 1900. The sequence includes stylized ornament and design sheets in remarkably modern ductus and comes from an ehon. A flat pattern with peonies and birds may have served as a textile design. A further representation with two decorative Uchiwa subjects, provided with geometric and floral patterns in front of a dark reason, is probably to be understood in this context. In addition, there is a leaf with a mythical phoenix bird in an ornamental frame with braided pattern as well as a representation of a stylized crane on pedestal next to scrolls with calligraphic inscriptions.
