On the basis of the relative positions of their signatures, it appears that Keibun designed the quail and Nanpō the clover in this finely rendered scene. Keibun was a Shijō painter, and Nanpō was trained as a Nanga-school artist. Although the Nanga school emulated Chinese scholar’s painting, there is little trace of that style in this print. Bush clover (hagi) is one of the “seven grasses of autumn.”
