You see two sparrows perched on bamboo in this painting. The artist was a Zen monk, which is interesting because it shows how art and spirituality were connected in his life. He was influenced by other painters of his time, which you can see in the simple, natural style of the painting. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to learn more about this and similar paintings.
