Japanese vintage art of birds white-eye, Long-tailed and Kanji calligraphy poem ,block printing with flame, wall deco picture H16.3×W21.1in.

TThese are woodblock prints documenting a variety of birds in the manner of an illustrated book.
Other works by the same artist are also listed.
This is one of a collection of works by 喜多川歌川Utamaro Kitagawa, one of Japan's leading 浮世絵ukiyo-e artists of the 1700s.
The name of the collection is 百千鳥狂歌絵Momochidori Kyokaawase, which means "a collection of works" in Japanese.
Many of them are owned by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. This is a woodcut reproduction of it by an old Japanese publisher.
It is all a combination of detailed drawings of birds and uniquely Japanese poetry called 狂歌Kyoka-awase.
Kyoka is directly translated as crazy poetry.
While 和歌waka poems are intended to be graceful, the appeal of 狂歌kyoka poetry is that it reads freely with comedy and social satire.
Other works by the same artist are also listed.
The charm of this work is the painting. The delicate colors and the feathery textures are wonderfully rendered.
These are white-eye and Long-tailed .　 In Japanese, they are called 目白MEJIRO and えながENAGA.
They are looking fo figure resting perched on a bamboo.

On the top are Japanese poems written by the artist about the white-eye and Long-tailed, respectively.

Enaga's poem says,
Promise of a man and a woman with a man's hand
Even if the tail of an enaga (a bird with a long tail) is missing

Mejiro's poem says,
They say all the right things and get pushed out of the bedclothes of prostitutes
Is this the cry of a painful mere white noise?

The frames and stones are ready to be displayed.
The frame is made of wood and glass.
