This stunning hand-coloured woodblock print, titled "Silver Pheasant (Hakkan), c. 1730" and attributed to Nishimura Shigenaga, captures the essence of nature's beauty during Japan's Edo period. The intricate details and vibrant colours bring this artwork to life, showcasing the artist's mastery in ukiyo-e, a popular art form of that time. Nestled among a lush landscape of trees and foliage, a majestic silver pheasant stands tall with its plumage shimmering in shades of silver and black. Its elegant presence is complemented by the delicate branches of a peach tree adorned with ripe peaches and vibrant green leaves. This harmonious composition symbolizes prosperity and abundance in Japanese culture. The artist's skillful use of block printing techniques adds depth and texture to every element within the image.
