Description: This print is from the set 'Kacho Fugetsu (Beauties of Nature)' which consists of 20 Hiroshige design prints in ō-tanzaku format published by Yuyudo in the 1970s, produced by the best engravers and printers at that time.

A small bird and loquat branches are depicted on an indigo background. In this work, which has a different taste from the beauty of multi-color woodblock printing, Hiroshige attempted to create the atmosphere of stone rubbing. The ripe loquat fruit and the bird perched on the branch give a sense of peace.

A print based on this design was published by Mokuhankan and is available on the Mokuhankan catalog.
