Hizo Nihon bijutsu taikan Vol 3
Mori Ransai (1740-1801) was a painter of the Nanpin school active in the mid-Edo period. The two long-tailed fowl in the picture are almost certainly intended to represent a pair of male and female birds. The same combination of long-tailed fowl and aronia, together with rocks, is frequently found in Chinese painting; the present picture substitutes roses for the rocks, but may be considered as a variation on the well-worn theme.
