This graceful hanging scroll by Fujii Shorin (1824–1894) presents a delicate scene of two sparrows perched on a flowering red camellia branch, rendered in soft ink and watercolor. The vivid blossoms contrast beautifully with the dark foliage, while the sparrows—captured in a moment of quiet interaction—add warmth and vitality to the composition. Shorin, a Hiroshima-based painter of the late Edo and Meiji periods and a member of the Bingo Fukuyama clan, studied under Nakajima Raisho and was known for his refined work in flower-and-bird, figure, and landscape painting. The scroll bears the signature “Shorin sha” (松林写) and seals “Fujii” (藤井) and “Kobun” (好文), affirming its authenticity. Mounted as a traditional kakejiku, this piece exemplifies the elegance and natural harmony central to classical Japanese aesthetics.
