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 two quails (uzura) flying in the air and a skylark (hibari). A soft gradation is used for the background.

This is a reproduction published by Yuyudo sometime in the post-war period.
