It was painted by Japanese artist 上田萬秋 , Banshu Ueda (1968-1952). The title of this work is「三枝之禮」"Sanshi-no-Rei". The title is a beautiful Japanese proverb meaning that even birds have the sense of filial piety, and humans even more so. （The dove is a courteous bird that perches on a branch three branches down from the branch where its parent bird perches. It is a metaphor for the fact that even birds know how to respect their parents.） 上田萬秋 , Banshu Ueda (1869-1952) Japanese painter of the Meiji and Showa periods. Born in Kyoto.
