AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This graceful hanging scroll captures a tranquil spring scene: a sparrow perched among blooming mountain cherry blossoms, rendered in delicate brushwork and soft color tones. The composition evokes themes of seasonal renewal, natural harmony, and the quiet charm of everyday life in the mountains. The scroll is mounted in patterned silk with green accents that complement the floral motif. The inclusion of the original wooden storage box (tomobako) enhances its value for preservation and presentation. A refined example of traditional Japanese kacho-ga (bird-and-flower painting), ideal for collectors of spring themes, botanical art, or works that celebrate nature’s fleeting beauty.
