Description
A single black crow with an open beak perches on a slender branch, its body facing left while its head turns right; sparse cherry blossoms in white and pale lavender cluster near the bottom of the branch alongside brown leaves. Behind the bird, a large pale circle (the moon) glows softly against a muted grey-beige sky, with the artist's signature and red seal in the lower left. "Crow on Cherry Branch," a color woodblock print by Ohara Koson, 1910.
