Name: Birds in a Tree, c. 1700-1868. Japan, Edo period (1615-1868). Hanging scroll; silk gauze brocaded with gold and silk; overall: 169.5 x 47 cm (66 3/4 x 18 1/2 in.). This scene of two Chinese pheasants with a flowering plum tree (a sign of the arrival of spring in Japan) is not painted. All the lines and surfaces are created by colored threads carefully stitched together into the silk. Consequently, the surface appears quite different from paintings on paper. - SuperStock
