Description: This print is part of the series Momo Chidori Kyoka Awase, where beautiful birds are paired with kyoka poems. The series includes prints of thirty different birds species, using elaborate techniques such as karazuri and kimedashi (embossing), and printed with delicate colors.

Here, Utamaro depicted domestic fowls (niwatori) and a meadow bunting (hojiro). The feathers of the fowls create a impactful impression using dark colors and a lot of details. The morning glory flowers adds elegance to the print.

This version of the print is a reproduction that was published by Yuyudo at some point after the post-war period.
