Ume ni onagadori. Plum blossom and magpie (long tailed cock onagadori). Magpies are birds of the Corvidae (crow) family, including the black and white Eurasian magpie, which is widely considered one of the most intelligent animals in the world, and one of the only nonmammal species able to recognize itself in a mirror test. Ukiyo-e (picture of the floating world) is a genre of Japanese art which flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries.
