Young Sparrows in the Summer Breeze, White Herons at the Winter Water's Edge

Young Sparrows in the Summer Breeze, White Herons at the Winter Water's Edge

The difference of nature's expression in spring and autumn are depicted with birds as the subject each scroll. In the right scroll, a calm waterside is expressed by small sparrows chirping in the spring breeze. In the left, a white heron preening its feathers at the water's edge in late autumn expresses the quiet atmosphere. It is an excellent work displaying the typical painting style of Takeuchi who excelled in depiction of the transition of seasons.(「New Edition Grace, Beauty and Inqenuity-Masterpices of the Museum of Imperial Collections, Sannomaru Shozokan Vol.2」2003)
