A pine and plum tree at both ends of the screens make up the basic composition of this painting encompassing various birds. This is one of the series of paintings which were done after Sesshu painted the screen, "Flowers and Birds of the Four Seasons." The pheasant, swallows, geese, and myna birds in this work have the same likeness as those in Sesshu's flower-and-bird painting. Without any evidence, this painting is attributed to Shugetsu Tokan ( date of birth and death unknown ). Shugetsu Tokan was a native of Satsuma Province, and later, in the middle of his life, he was ordained in the priesthood and studied painting under Sesshu. It is obvious that the painter who created this work studied Sessyu's paintings, judging from the strong lines painted with worn down brushes. It is most probable that the far right section of the far right panel of the right-hand screen was added later.
