Sparrows

The print shows five figures cascading diagonally from the upper right corner toward the lower left, set against a plain, unshaded warm yellow-cream ground with no landscape or interior details. The figures wear kimono in vermillion red, indigo blue, and green with patterned sashes, rendered in dynamic, twisting poses that suggest motion across the sheet. A red rectangular seal and a title cartouche appear in the upper right; "Sparrows," a woodblock print by Ogata Gekko (year unknown), is signed in the lower left with a red artist's seal.
