This graceful hanging scroll depicts a sparrow in flight above blooming hibiscus, rendered with elegance and seasonal sensitivity. The hibiscus flowers—symbols of gentle beauty and late-summer to early-autumn vitality—rise amid lush foliage, while the small sparrow introduces a sense of movement and life to the composition. Raishō employs refined brushwork and soft mineral pigments to articulate leaves, petals, and feathers with clarity and restraint. The warm ground enhances the harmony between bird and plant, while generous negative space allows the composition to breathe. The balance of stillness and motion reflects the refined decorative sensibility characteristic of Taishō–Shōwa period Nihonga. The artist’s signature and seal are present, reinforcing the authenticity and period character of the work.
