Description: This print is from the series, "The Nippon Mokuhan Gasui" (Masterpieces of old Japanese colour prints), a collection of reproductions of various themes and designs published around 1924.

This print depicts a green pheasant with his head down looking intensely at the plants around him. The front part of his body is black and his feathers have neutral colors but an intense beautiful green stands out. There is no background but with just a few elements the designer succeeds in suggesting that the bird is in the nature and this gives a very interesting composition.
