A witty, deadpan title for a print that plays on the double meaning of its subject: two birds (fowl) dust-bathing in sand, and perhaps a couple whose domesticity borders on parody. Sekino's animal subjects frequently carry this kind of understated humor, with the birds' rounded forms and absorbed activity rendered in flat, warm tones that give the scene a comic dignity.
