Bird on Weeping Cherry - Shidarezakura ni kotori Ceramic Tile

This tile is based on the artwork Bird on Weeping Cherry, or Shidarezakura ni kotori, which is a lovely woodblock print by Ohara Shōson. A lovely songbird clings to a branch of a pink weeping cherry tree, with blossoms gracefully dangling from the tree. The background is a pale orange gradient, suggesting morning or dusk. This lovely minimalist nature scene just might make you think spring, regardless of the season. This image is courtesy of the LA County Museum of Art open access (public domain) collection.
