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 a cormorant (u) and an egret (sagi). The cormorant is sticking his head in the water, trying to catch fish.

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