Flowers of a Hundred Worlds (Momoyogusa): White Heron (Shirosagi)

Kamisaka Sekka

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a white heron standing in front of a large, black and brown object, set against a background of water and greenery. The heron is white with a long, pointed beak and black markings around its eye. It stands on the left side of the image, facing left, with its head turned slightly to the left. The large object in front of the heron is mostly black with large brown geometric shapes throughout. The background is divided into two sections: the top features green grass-like plants on a gray background, while the bottom features dark blue water. The overall composition and color palette suggest a stylized representation of a natural scene.
