A person sits cross-legged on a low table, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and loose robes. They hold a small bowl and chopsticks, focusing on something in their hands. A bird perches on a branch above, and another flies nearby. The background is simple, with just a few trees and a pale sky. The artist used clean lines and flat colors, with careful shading under the hat’s brim. This style makes the scene feel calm and precise. Next, look up Toriyama Sekien to see more of his work.
