About this work

This print shows a bird perched on a branch with bright blue flowers and green leaves. The background has a soft blue sky and a pale green hill. The bird looks calm, facing left, while the flowers stand out with bold petals. The artist used simple shapes and flat colors, making the scene feel balanced. The flowers and leaves are outlined in black, giving them a sharp look against the soft sky. Look up Utagawa Hiroshige to see more of his nature-focused prints.
