Description
The accompanying poem may be translated as:
The plum accompanies their squawking forms;
Its fragrance assaults their feathers.
Beautiful shadows of the branches in the moonlight
Climb toward the study curtain.
The pair of crows that have lodged in my house
Cry and make to fly a way,
Under the bright moon in the depths of the night.
