Birds Fable B - 鳥の寓話 B

Birds Fable B — Tori no Guwa B — a second composition in a series of prints with a narrative or allegorical dimension, birds serving as characters in a fable. The fable tradition used animals as stand-ins for human types and behaviors, their stories pointing toward moral truths. Kimura's Birds Fable series engages with this tradition, giving his bird subjects a narrative or allegorical dimension that goes beyond the descriptive function of his other bird prints.
