Antique Japanese Sumi-e Suzume and Grain Scroll Painting | 圖雀稲 Sparrow & Ear of Rice

Sumi-e painting mounted on a scroll. Painting features two sparrows flying towards a bundle of grain. The freedom of the birds to have the grain for themselves is likely meant to evoke feelings of abundance and wealth.
