Plum Blossom and Small Bird

A single black-ink woodcut print on cream paper shows a plump, dark-feathered bird in profile perched on a tuft of grass, its long tail raised and beak slightly open, set beneath a diagonal plum branch bearing a few blossoms in the upper left. The scene is framed within a dense black rectangular border with textured hatching along the right edge, and a small red seal appears to the right of the image alongside Japanese characters, a signature reading "Un-ichi," and a date. Rendered entirely in bold black and white with no color beyond the red seal, the composition has a quiet, spare mood, consistent with its identification as *Plum Blossom and Small Bird*, a 1917 woodcut print by Hiratsuka Un'ichi.
