Shrike on a Withered Branch (After the Important Cultural Property by Miyamoto Musashi) - Hanging Scroll

Dimensions

W54 × H185 cm

This hanging scroll takes as its motif "Shrike on a Withered Branch" by Miyamoto Musashi. A single shrike perched at the tip of a bare, withered branch is rendered in sharp yet tranquil brushwork. This piece carries the taut concentration and spiritual depth distinctive to Musashi, who was equally renowned as a master swordsman.
