Description

A kacho-ga (image of flowers and birds) by Hiroshige, in an o-tanzaku format. The colours in this print have been cleverly thought-out; the light blue peony matches the background colour, the tree in the foreground matches the peacock's tail feathers, and the feathers around the bird's neck match the peonies' leaves. All in all the print gives off a feeling of luxury through the use of many different colours in rich tones.
