Bijutsukai (美術海) was a Meiji-period (1868–1912) Japanese colour woodblock-printed design publication, first published in Kyoto in 1896 by Yamada Geisōdō (芸艸堂). It contained decorative designs inspired by traditional Japanese motifs, intended as references for applied arts such as textiles, kimono and other crafts. The publication ran from 1896 to 1906 and became an important source of Japanese decorative design.
The design features delicate stylised foliage with clusters of decorative floral forms arranged across the composition.
