Kano Yusen
【A sparrow and stone lantern】

This is a hanging scroll by Kano Yusen, depicting an adorable sparrow sheltering from the rain in a stone lantern. The stone lantern is painted boldly with dry brushstrokes to express the rough stone surface, while the entwining ivy is given a fresh look with the use of Tarashikomi ("dripping in"). The inscription on the box, "Bunka 14th year, Fire Ox," suggests that the mounting was made two years after Yusen committed suicide.
