Where it works
Bairei's Japanese wagtail, a black-and-white bird wading at the water's edge under a tumble of yellow chrysanthemums and russet leaves, a landscape woodblock. Autumnal and quiet, it suits a hallway, bathroom or bedside wall on cream, ochre or sage walls at 12×18 in natural wood, with his Warbler Among Chrysanthemums.
