Album of Calligraphy and Painting (Shoga jō) 書画帖

An open book with a drawing of three children and a bird. The book's pages are yellowed and have a black border around the edges. The left page has Japanese writing in black ink. On the right page, a child in a blue shirt and white pants crouches on the left, looking at a ball of string. In the center, another child in a white outfit and blue headband looks into a red and white striped box held by a child in a green dress with blue and yellow trim, white pants, and a blue and pink headpiece. A small brown bird is on the ground in front of them. The artist's signature is in the bottom-right corner.
