Keika Hasegawa was a Japanese artist and designer known for creating ornamental pattern books and natural studies that served as visual references for textile artists and craftspeople during the Meiji era.

His illustrations, particularly of flowers and insects, were widely admired for their elegance, symmetry, and decorative appeal. Often published as woodblock books, Hasegawa’s works contributed to the preservation and dissemination of traditional Japanese motifs while also aligning with the global rise of Japonisme.
