Description: This print captures a sparrow in a moment of stillness mid-air, wings spread against the wind, gliding above hibiscus flowers depicted in vibrant shades of red. The treatment of the hibiscus leaves reflects Hokusai’s attempt to portray them swaying in the wind.

This entire design showcases Hokusai’s talent for sketching from life and his ability to capture the fleeting beauty of a single instant through keen observation and realistic detail.

This version is a reproduction published by the Adachi Company.


There are a few slight creases at the left and right edges. Also, there is a slight trace of glue removal at the top of the backside.
