Kiyohara Yukinobu enjoyed singular popularity in the early Edo period as a \u201cwoman highly accomplished in the arts,\u201d or keish\u016b in Japanese. Her father was one of the principal students of the famed Kano painter Kano Tan\u2019y\u016b, and her mother was Tan\u2019y\u016b \u2019s niece. She is said to have studied Tan\u2019y\u016b \u2019s style, and her corpus of paintings includes a number of hanging scrolls with vignettes of the Chinese historical or literary figures that were a staple of the Kano school repertoire. She also appears to have followed Tan\u2019y\u016b \u2019s lead in subjects executed in the Japanese style of painting, or yamato-e.Most of her surviving works are in the hanging-scroll format, but at least one folding screen also remains. That painting features studies of a variety of birds\u2014from owls to pheasants\u2014scattered across a dramatic ink-painted landscape. In this painting, Yukinobu focuses on three standard poses of a single type of bird neatly contained within a typical spring scene. Careful observation of the high level of detail in the depiction of the birds is aided by the especially gentle articulation of the rocks in the stream and the trunk of the cherry tree.Free picture Waxwings, Cherry Blossoms, and Bamboo by a Stream integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
