This beautiful woodblock print is an elegant example of the kacho-ga tradition, depicting two doves (or pigeons) perched on a branch laden with autumnal Japanese maple leaves. The original work is likely from the late Meiji or Taishō period, characteristic of the resurgence in high-quality decorative nature prints.

The artwork is characterized by:

  • Contrasting Subjects: The composition features two birds: a pristine white dove and a companion bird with a more exotic plumage of vibrant indigo blue and mottled grey/purple. They are positioned intimately on a slender branch.

  • Vibrant Palette: The cool blues and whites of the birds contrast dramatically with the rich, fiery red and orange of the maple leaves (momiji), which dominate the upper corners.

  • Atmosphere and Background: The background is a large expanse of soft, pale cream or sky blue, giving the scene an airy, refined atmosphere. The clear lines and saturated colors are typical of master woodblock printing.

  • Symbolism: The birds are symbols of peace and love, while the autumn maple leaves symbolize the ephemeral beauty of change, a key concept in Japanese aesthetics.
