This art reproduction features a naturalist illustration by Kōno Bairei, taken from his collection of works on fauna and flora. The composition focuses on a cicada perched on a willow branch. The artist renders with great precision the details of the insect and foliage, using a palette of browns and greens that anchors the scene in realistic observation.

Kōno Bairei (1844-1895) was one of the masters of the Meiji-era Japanese print, a period marked by an opening to Western influence while preserving Japanese aesthetic traditions. His plates, particularly those dedicated to birds and flowers (kachō-ga), bear witness to a quasi-scientific approach, where each element is studied for its anatomical and botanical accuracy.

This work is aimed at lovers of Japanese art, collectors of naturalist prints, as well as entomologists. In decoration, this illustration brings a touch of serenity and a window into Japanese summer nature, inviting the contemplation of a fleeting moment captured with finesse.
