Full Moon with Crow on Plum Branch, 1880s. The accompanying poem may be translated as: The plum accompanies their squawking forms; Its fragrance assaults their feathers. Beautiful shadows of the branches in the moonlight Climb toward the study curtain. The pair of crows that have lodged in my house Cry and make to fly a way, Under the bright moon in the depths of the night.
