Picture of a Cat, a Bird, and a Crabapple

A multicolor woodblock print shows a blue and green crested bird perched on a twisting branch of pink crabapple blossoms with green leaves. Below, a white cat with black patches looks upward beside blue-tinted rocks and tufts of grass.

Look closer: A small cat peers up at the bird from the lower right, its yellow-rimmed eye easy to overlook.
