Subject:Japanese woodblock book page
Posted By: Lisa Wood Wed, Nov 16, 2022 IP: 95.146.181.169
I have a double page woodblock print which I believe is a page from a book. I believe the characters down the centre will reveal the artist and book title? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

(The upper part of page with characters 草木 is cut off or is below the frame)
白鶴園蔵　- Hakkakuen -zō - Hakkakuen Collection

ハダカホウツキ　- Hadakahōzuki - Tubocapsicum anomalum

A double page from a herb-book with probably dozens of volumes. I managed to find a single volume from this edition online, which was uploaded in the NationalDiet Library Digital Database, but due to the lack of colophon I could only find out the date of edition; 27th Year of Meiji Era (1894)
