"Shorebird and Lotus" is a Japanese woodblock print created by Imao Keinen (1845–1924), a prominent artist known for his kacho-e (bird-and-flower paintings). Keinen was active during the Meiji and Taishō periods in Japan, and his work is characterized by its delicate and realistic portrayal of nature. "Shorebird and Lotus" is part of Keinen's extensive oeuvre that reflects his deep appreciation and meticulous observation of the natural world.

The print depicts a scene of tranquility and harmony, featuring a shorebird, possibly a heron or egret, standing gracefully among blooming lotus flowers. The composition is a testament to Keinen's skill in capturing the elegance of these subjects, which were common motifs in Japanese art and symbolized purity and enlightenment due to the lotus's ability to emerge unsoiled from muddy waters.

"Shorebird and Lotus" is likely to have been produced during the late 19th or early 20th century, a period when Japan was undergoing rapid modernization yet still held strong to its traditional artistic roots. Keinen's work, including this print, was part of the shin-hanga movement, which sought to revitalize the traditional ukiyo-e art form by integrating Western elements and techniques.

The print is executed with the traditional woodblock printing technique, which involves carving an image onto a wooden block, applying ink, and then pressing it onto paper. This method allows for the creation of multiple copies, yet each print can have slight variations due to the hand-crafted nature of the process.

"Shorebird and Lotus" exemplifies Keinen's artistic philosophy and his contribution to the legacy of Japanese woodblock printing. His attention to detail and the serene beauty captured in this print continue to resonate with art enthusiasts and collectors of Japanese art. The work is a fine example of Meiji-era art that bridges the traditional and the modern, reflecting both the cultural heritage of Japan and the influences of Western art movements of the time.
