Well this really is a wild guess...'Story board'
When you have the idea of a range of clothing you make a board with samples of possible fabric and colours to show to a client. It is the same if you are an interior designer and want a client to get a feel for colours and fabrics you might use in their rooms. Apparently -in the fashion world anyway- it is called a 'story board', but without any more info I cvant think what yopur phrase might mean.

Comment: ""Story board" seems quite likely though I only know of it in the film or BD context. This is a fashion design exercise which (I guess) consists of collecting fabrics/colours/pix to create ideas for a client. More exact context: nil.

mood block print
A block print wouldn't be a portfolio but it could be one of the items in a portfolio or one could make a portfolio cover from it. There are different names for the various types of block printing done in Japan. Allusion print is another term that I saw used. It is possible

A heron is depicted mid-flight behind a luxurious growth of irises, as if about to dive down to a river to catch its prey. The use of karazuri (blind-printing or gauffrage), a type of embossing, on the body of the heron not only creates a feeling of softness by lending extra depth to the print, but also serves to emphasise the whiteness of the bird. Karazuri is a technique in which a pattern or texture (in this print, a feather pattern) is cut into a woodblock. The print is then placed face down onto the woodblock and the back of the paper is then pressed and rubbed using a tool known as a baren.
One of Hiroshige's specialities was the kachô-ga (bird and flower print) genre. He conveys the intricate harmonies of nature in lush colours and with supreme skill in design and composition. The mood of his images is complemented by contemporary verses, either in Japanese or, as here, Chinese, relating to the theme of the print.

The line "it is possible" was for an idea I had about the possibility of the translation of "plance d'ambience" and "mood block color print" coming from Japanese translation and that "allusion print" might be intended to translate the same thing. Since the idea was just speculation on my part, I meant to take it out.
