Titmouse and Bird Cage

A tall cylindrical birdcage with a teal-green wire body and coral-red top and base sits on a mustard-yellow floor, its small door swung open; inside hang a yellow perch and green leafy sprigs. One small bird perches on the cage's red finial while a second, blue-and-white with a dark cap, stands on the ground beside the open door, beak raised toward its companion above. Behind the scene, a wood-grained lattice railing crosses a pale sky-blue background, rendered in the flat, textured colour blocks characteristic of this 1960 color woodblock print by Maekawa Senpan, titled *Titmouse and Bird Cage*.
