Hideo Hagiwara Gallery of the Reader Collection of Japanese Flower-and-Bird Art

Hideo was a woodblock printmaker who included flowers or birds in more than ten of his prints. Seventeen examples are shown in this gallery. Click on a picture to enlarge it. The flowers were typically placed in the foreground of a landscape scene while the birds appeared alone. In all cases Hideo drew his picture subjects in a creative way, especially the birds.
