About Peonies & Canary: 

"

After the successful publication of his ten-print bird- and-flower (kachō-ga) series in the horizontal format (examples on view nearby), Hokusai released another kachō-ga series with the same publisher, Nishimuraya. The new set consisted of ten vertical compositions (three are on view) bearing a poem mentioning the featured flower. The Chinese-style poem at the upper right of this print is attributed to the Southern Song scholar Wang Shiming (1112–71).

Double-flowered peonies from Yangzhou, the king of flowers in bloom this spring.
