This elegant hanging scroll presents a lyrical bird-and-flower composition rendered with restraint and clarity. Small birds perch among softly curving grasses and broad leaves, accompanied by delicate blossoms that suggest the quiet transition of the seasons. The spacious background and gentle movement of the foliage create a calm, atmospheric rhythm. Executed with refined brushwork and subtle color gradations, the artist emphasizes balance and harmony rather than dramatic contrast. The birds are depicted with sensitivity and precision, while the plants are treated in flowing lines that guide the viewer’s eye vertically through the composition. The overall aesthetic reflects the refined decorative sensibility of Taishō–Shōwa period Nihonga, well suited for traditional interior display. The artist’s inscription and seals are present, contributing to the work’s authenticity and period character.
