digital description:


wall description:
The accompanying poem may be translated as: <br><br>The plum accompanies their squawking forms; <br>Its fragrance assaults their feathers. <br>Beautiful shadows of the branches in the moonlight <br>Climb toward the study curtain. <br>The pair of crows that have lodged in my house <br>Cry and make to fly a way, <br>Under the bright moon in the depths of the night.
