Guy,
Thanks much! This is a bit of a different look for a shini-e, a type of print that I've recently become interested in. I'm used to the typical prayer beads. Do you happen to know whether the bird cage (I assume that's what he's holding) and the birds are referencing Buddhist iconography?
rgds,
Irwin
