Bairei hyakucho gafu. Ten Pl.38 by Kono Bairei
Plate 38 closes the Hundred Birds album on a quietly confident note: a single bird in a grounded, lateral pose, its body parallel to the lower frame edge, head angled slightly upward. The composition is almost diagrammatic in its clarity, yet entirely alive — Bairei's Shijo training evident in the way each stroke builds form without overstatement. The absence of background detail focuses attention completely on the subject, the off-white ground functioning as both sky and silence.
Printed in our Berlin studio on museum-grade fine art paper with archival pigment inks, this fine art print renders Bairei's precise, minimal line quality and nuanced ink tones with faithful sharpness and long-term stability.
