This hanging scroll depicts ripening rice plants bending under their own weight, with several sparrows flying above, forming a classic and auspicious rural motif in Japanese art. Rice symbolizes abundance and prosperity, while sparrows are traditionally associated with harmony and everyday life. The gentle brushwork and warm, subdued tones evoke a peaceful autumn harvest scene. The vertical composition enhances the sense of open space and seasonal atmosphere, making this work well suited for tokonoma display during autumn. The artist Toen captures the quiet beauty of nature with restraint and balance, characteristic of works from the Taisho to early Showa period. Condition Overall condition is consistent with age. Light foxing, mild discoloration, and small stains are visible. No major tears or losses to the silk. Mounting shows some wear but remains structurally sound and suitable for display.
