An enticing tall six-panel byôbu 屏風 (folding screen) in the style of Kanô Eigaku 狩野永岳, featuring a Kyô-Kanô School painting painting of white herons 白鷺 (shirasagi) near a large weeping willow 柳 (yanagi). A massive trunk curves gracefully along the left side of the screen, its branches and twigs sprouting with delicate early buds. On one of the broad curves, a pair of white herons are perched, while from far ahead, another pair of herons approach in flight. he entire scene is enveloped in drifting clouds of gold-leaf speckles, evoking a tranquil, mist-laden atmosphere. Signed in the lower right corner ‘Kanô Nuinosuke Eigaku’ 狩野縫殿助永岳, accompanied by two name seals in red, one reading: ‘Kôrei shi’ 公嶺氏.
