The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life a serene scene where a majestic kingfisher perches gracefully amidst a bed of irises. Created during the early to mid-20th century as part of the shin-hanga movement, this artwork showcases the fusion of traditional Japanese art techniques with modern influences. The delicate calligraphy adds an elegant touch, complementing the overall composition. The kingfisher, known for its vibrant plumage and swift movements, symbolizes grace and agility.
