from the illustrated book "Kachō gaden" 

Editor: This is a page from "Kacho Gaden" by Katsushika Taito II. The birds feel so alive! I'm curious—what draws your eye when you look at this work? Curator: I love how the artist captures the feeling of fleeting moments. Notice the plum blossoms, their delicate transience mirrored in the birds' active poses. It's like a visual haiku, isn't it? Editor: It is! The connection between the birds and blossoms is lovely. Curator: Indeed. It makes you wonder about the interconnectedness of all living things, doesn’t it? A reminder of nature’s delicate dance. Editor: Definitely. Seeing the way they interact with each other is a great way to look at art. Curator: Precisely! It’s about finding those little threads that tie it all together.
