两幅春日题材的挂轴——梅花与鸣鸟、梅花与喜鹊（合并拍品） - 紙, 絲 - Taruno Hosui - 日本 - 昭和年代(1926-1989)

### Short description of the item and its origin

This combined lot contains two vintage Asian hanging scrolls themed around plum‑blossom and spring birds.
The first scroll, *Plum‑Blossom & Japanese Bush‑Warbler (Uguisu)*, is a Japanese Showa‑period work by Taruno Hosui. It is paper‑painted and mounted with traditional silk brocade, a classic Japanese tea‑hanging floral‑and‑bird composition.
The second scroll, *Magpies on White Plum‑Blossom (Xi Shang Mei Shao / Joy Upon the Brow)*, is a Chinese modern‑age painting by Li Qinggui. It bears a poetic calligraphy inscription from the famous ancient poem *Plum Blossom* by Wang An‑shi, plus a cyclic‑calendar date of Wu‑Zi year.

These two scrolls are grouped intentionally as a matched spring‑bird‑and‑plum‑blossom set: both share the auspicious plum‑blossom motif that symbolises hope, resilience and the arrival of spring. One represents Japanese ink‑wash floral‑bird aesthetics, the other showcases traditional Chinese bird‑and‑flower painting culture, creating a beautiful East‑Asian decorative pair with complementary styles.

### Collector’s Value & Benefits

‑ Both pieces are fully silk‑brocade mounted and ready‑to‑hang, no extra framing work required.
