Comments - Delightful design of a small green bullfinch clinging to the slender branch of a flowering camellia, balancing precariously almost upside-down as the branch sways in the breeze. Bright pink and rose flowers add a colorful note against the softly shaded background. A beautiful image with a wonderful asymmetrical balance. Published by Uchida with publisher's seal in lower right margin. The verse reads:
Withered camellias--
all the sweeping that goes on
after they've fallen!
