Details

A heron sits resiliently on top of a pine branch as a winter wind howls. The bird's plumage reveals the wind's strength. The large pine in the background is rendered in a softer gray wash, suggesting a thin layer of snow caused by the whirling winds. The design has hand-applied gofun randomly sprinkled across the composition, providing a sense of drama. Despite the power of the composition, there is a deeply contemplative quality that is quite thought-provoking.

Connoisseur's Note

This print bears the artist’s red circular seal, indicating it is an early lifetime impression. The print has never been framed or displayed for extended periods. As a result, it is in an outstanding state of preservation.
