"Warbler and Roses" is a woodblock print by Katsushika Hokusai, created around 1834. The print showcases a vibrant yellow warbler perched on a branch adorned with lush green leaves and delicate pink roses. The artist's use of bold colors and fine details captures the essence of the natural world, highlighting the harmonious relationship between the bird and the flowers. This print is a beautiful example of Hokusai's mastery of the ukiyo-e style, which was popular in Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868).

The verse above the bush-warbler reads: The house on the hill opens when the rose scatters her petals.
