Quail in Flight
Artist: Ohara Shōson
A Japanese quail takes to flight. Sprigs of a crysanthemum-like flower appear to the right. The quail is a gallinaceous bird, identifiable by its rounded body, short bill and small tail. In Japan, it is kept as a domestic bird, and its eggs are highly prized. (Newland 2010)
