🐮 Kaisenshu. v.1. Kyoto: Yamada Naozoburo, 1914-1915. Original source Image description: Illustration from “Kaisenshu. v.1. Kyoto: Yamada Naozoburo, 1914-1915,” depicting six detailed, colored seashells arranged in two rows on a beige background. The shells vary in shape, size, and pattern, including spiral, conical, and oval forms with distinct markings such as stripes, spots, and ridges. Each shell is labeled with a small number beneath. The image focuses on naturalistic representation with subtle shading, emphasizing texture and color variations. Despite the cow-related keyword, the subjects are marine shells, showcasing historical scientific illustration style.
