The Japanese Bush Warbler, or uguisu, has such a lovely call that it's birdcall (hohokekyo) has become commonplace in Japan. The Warbler's call is known to signal the arrival of Spring and begins in mid-February in Southern Japan but won't be heard in the North until the end of April.



"Plum Warbler" (1940) by Koitsu Tsuchiya

The woodblock prints of Tsuchiya Koitsu (1870 - 1949) are notable for their dramatic use of light and shadow. He didn't become successful until around the 1930s when 
a chance encounter with the shin-hanga movement led Tsuchiya to begin producing landscape prints in the shin-hanga style. 
He went on to design various prints for publishers in Tokyo
