Bird on a branch eyeing sweet persimmons. A variation of a smaller painting with similar subject (available in store). Painted with ink and watercolour on rice paper. 

SYMBOLISM NOTES: in Japan, persimmons (kaki) are a symbol of the fall. They are often mentioned in poetry, pictured in art and widely used in cuisine. Persimmons are loved for the bright colours, sweet taste and lovely shape. Likewise, birds are a popular symbol in art. Plump and happy sparrows are a symbol of good harvest and abundant home.   

The painting is signed, sealed with artist's personal seal and wet-mounted on another sheet of backing paper. It is ready to be framed or mounted on a scroll. Please use acid-free materials when framing. It is manually cut, please leave a few mm error margin for dimensions. Note that colours may differ due to differences in devices.
