작품 상세

A refined kachō-e composition depicting a black crow perched on a blossoming cherry branch. The delicate contrast between the bird’s dark silhouette and the soft white and pink tones of the cherry blossoms creates a quiet, meditative atmosphere — characteristic of Keinen’s lyrical approach to the beauty of nature. This print was likely issued as a later edition of Imao Keinen’s original design, produced during the early 20th century for the export market. Keinen, a leading Kyoto painter and print artist of the Meiji and Taishō eras, is celebrated for his elegant renderings of birds and flowers that combine naturalistic detail with decorative refinement.
