Description: This print shows three swallows beneath cherry blossom flowers. One is captured in motion with its wings spread, while the other two are perched on the branches.

This design was intended to be mounted on an uchiwa (round fan). Although it doesn’t have a fan shape, the expansive blossoms and the large, dynamic swallows reveal that Kunisada designed the composition with the effect of an uchiwa in mind.

It captures a moment of spring and showcases his talent for portraying realistic details through keen observation of nature.

This version is a reproduction published by the Adachi Company.
