Pink Parrot on Rock Possibly 1859

This woodblock print, *Pink Parrot on Rock*, was created by Nakayama Sūgakudō, a Japanese artist active in the 19th century. The print is a *ukiyo-e*, a popular style of Japanese woodblock printing, characterized by its vibrant colors and detailed depiction of everyday life and natural scenes. The print features a bright pink parrot perched on a rock, surrounded by lush greenery and delicate flowers. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate patterns of the parrot's feathers and the delicate textures of the leaves. This print, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offers a glimpse into the beauty of Japanese art and the intricate skill of woodblock printing.
