Tani Buncho
【White-eyes and dried persimmons】

This is an adorable painting of birds pecking at ripe dried persimmons, almost as if it is having a conversation. For Buncho, who was skilled at capturing the fleeting moments of various living creatures, the peaceful daily lives of birds were probably the perfect subject. A lively scene seems to come to mind.
