About "Sparrows and azalea"
Ink and color on silk, with a signed and sealed by Oi Josui, illustrated in "Nagasawa Rosetsu - An Entertainer from Kyoto" published by the Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art in 2017 (108×36cm / 200×51cm)
Azalea in full bloom lively spreading its branches, and sparrows are actively moving around it. This scenery from early summer is so full of life. It is as if you can hear the birds singing. Rosetsu's extraordinary talent and energy is so abundantly expressed in this piece.
