Item description: 数珠かけの梅 (Plum Tree and Blue Magpie). The image is featuring two blue magpies perched on the moss-covered branch of an old plum tree, with another bird at lower right. The trunk is beautifully detailed with rich subtle color and calligraphic strokes to give it a rugged, textured appearance, and tiny buds can be seen on the smaller twigs.
