Bairei's Album of One Hundred Birds Supplement - Kono Bairei's wonderful series "Bairei's Album of One Hundred Birds," was published in three volumes in 1881, with a supplement featuring new designs following in 1884, also in three volumes. The three volumes are titled Sky, Earth, and People, which does not refer to the contents, but is rather an archaic form of Japanese numbering for 1, 2, and 3. These lovely designs feature birds in their natural habitats, among trees, flowers, and plants, in a variety of seasons. Carefully observed and drawn with fine calligraphic line work, these prints are an excellent example of Bairei's kacho-e (bird and flower prints). A great opportunity to purchase a handsome print from one of Bairei's most well-known series.
