The literati and gentry have always admired birds and flowers that maintain their vitality during cold winters. These birds and flowers have long been subjects of traditional East Asian painting. In this work, Kinoshita meticulously depicts a heavenly bamboo and daffodils in elegant colors. The blooming daffodils sway gently in the breeze, while the heavenly bamboo’s leaves and berries appear in vibrant red. The sparrow flitting into the scene seems to be looking for something, adding a touch of liveliness to the tranquil, simple and graceful composition. Overall, the work precisely captures the sheer vitality of a winter day.
