with signature and seal 'Hosen' 方僊

Delicately rendered with a light, airy touch, this kakejiku captures two sparrows in mid‑flight, their forms defined by minimal yet expressive brushwork that conveys both motion and intimacy. The empty space surrounding them heightens the sense of openness, allowing the viewer to feel the quiet rhythm of wings cutting through still air. Subtle gradations of ink and restrained color give the composition a gentle warmth, while the placement of the birds creates a natural diagonal flow that draws the eye upward. The scroll bears the signature and seal “Hōsen” (方僊), reflecting the painter’s refined sensibility in bird‑and‑flower subjects. Its understated elegance makes it a versatile and calming presence in both traditional and modern interiors.
