Bird on Desk (Kijo kotori)

A small bird with patterned plumage perches on a closed book, set among a cup and saucer, a vase of large-petaled flowers, and a round fruit on a desk. The scene is rendered in bold black woodcut linework against the cream paper, with dense hatching and cross-hatching forming a dark, textured background that frames the lighter subjects. A red seal and the artist's pencil signature "Un-ichi," along with the date "1928," appear beneath the image. Hiratsuka Un'ichi's "Bird on Desk (Kijo kotori)" is a 1928 woodcut print.
