"One Hundred Examples of Kai-Style Flower Arrangements" (Kōyō seika hyakuhei zu 甲陽生花百瓶図) is a woodblock-printed book (1774-1775) by Japanese artist Shōmeian Rochū that illustrates a hundred different flower arrangements in the *kōyō* (or *kaisei*) style. The book's pages display simple but elegant arrangements in various styles, ranging from formal arrangements in delicate vases to more casual arrangements in rustic containers. This illustrated manual was likely intended to help students learn about the *kaisei* style of flower arranging.
