Description: A beautiful kacho-ga (image of flowers and birds) by Hiroshige showing a little finch clinging to a tendril of wisteria. The Metropolitan has an original copy of this design, and they have translated the poem as: "Pendulous down from the eaves droop the wisteria blossoms, showing the dyer within tints that he fain would achieve".

There are a few small chiri (mulberry bark scraps) at the lower part of this print.
