Comments - Lovely kacho-e or birds and flowers print of a plum warbler perched on in a plum tree. The tree is covered with white buds and blossoms shadowed in blue, with the rugged trunk rendered with bold calligraphic line work. A charming spring design with beautiful bokashi shading in the sky. A terrific subject that would make a wonderful framed display.
