Spring Under Vast Skies, Design Eleven from Shazanrō Picture Book

Tani Bunchō

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows an open book with two pages. The left page has a thin black border around most of the page and is mostly empty, save for several Japanese characters on the top left written in black ink. The characters are stacked vertically. Two are black and two are red. A thin line drawing of a cherry blossom branch curves across the top and bottom, exiting the page at the bottom left corner and the top right corner. The right page also has a similar black border around most of the page and depicts a detailed black line drawing of a larger cherry blossom branch with numerous blossoms; the branch enters from the top right corner and sweeps across to the bottom left corner. The book has an orange cover with a gold and blue floral pattern. The pages are yellowed with age. The book is resting on a light gray surface.
