"Lentepatronen voor de hoofdstad" (Spring Patterns for the Capital) is an anonymous, 19th-century Japanese artwork from 1885-1890. The work depicts two bound volumes, one slightly taller than the other, both covered in faded blue paper. The books are likely "Lentepatronen," which are seasonal books featuring various poetic and literary works. They appear to be bound in the Edo period style with a unique, hand-painted design and calligraphy. The delicate white markings on the blue paper create a sense of subtle visual texture and provide historical clues about the bookbinding techniques.
