This 2022 print takes an incongruous title — bureaucratic, contemporary, mildly comic — and applies it to a composition categorized as birds and flowers with abstract elements. The juxtaposition suggests a dry humor: birds grounded, perhaps by weather or simply by circumstance, surrounded by botanical forms. Mokuhanga's capacity for lush, saturated color fields is well suited to [kacho-e](/glossary/kacho-e)-adjacent subjects, and the abstract dimension may indicate that flowers or atmospheric elements are treated as color planes rather than illustrative botanical studies. Created during a period when travel disruption had specific cultural resonance, the work may use the natural subject as an oblique commentary on constraint, patience, and stillness — themes that align with mokuhanga's own slow, meditative process.
