Description:
In commemoration of the 300th anniversary of the birth of Jakuchu Ito, I saw beautiful images of his roosters on television and in magazines. Applying the fruit of the nandina plant was painstaking, but to balance out the roosters, I added many berries. It was also very difficult to portray the lightness of the feathers.
