"Cockerel and Hen on the right with a Bunting on the left, from an album Birds compared in Humorous Songs Momo Chidori Kyoka Awase" is a notable work by the celebrated Japanese ukiyo-e artist Kitagawa Utamaro (c. 1753 – 1806). Created in 1791, this piece is part of a larger collection that juxtaposes various species of birds with playful, humorous poems known as kyoka, or "mad verses." The album, "Momo Chidori Kyoka Awase," translates to "Comparisons of Plovers with Kyoka Poems," and it exemplifies Utamaro's finesse in capturing the delicate beauty of birds while also engaging with the popular literary culture of the Edo period.

In this particular print, Utamaro illustrates a cockerel and hen on the right side of the composition, with a bunting on the left. The birds are rendered with meticulous attention to detail and naturalistic coloration, a testament to Utamaro's skill in kachō-ga, or bird-and-flower painting. The accompanying kyoka adds a layer of wit and cultural context, as these poems often contained puns, allusions, and parodies that would have resonated with the educated townspeople of the time.

Utamaro's work is highly regarded for its contribution to the ukiyo-e genre, particularly in the bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women) category. However, his bird prints such as those from "Momo Chidori Kyoka Awase" also demonstrate his versatility and the breadth of his artistic interests. The album reflects the interplay between visual art and literature in Edo Japan and provides insight into the era's aesthetic preferences and humorous sensibilities.

"Cockerel and Hen on the right with a Bunting on the left" is not only a fine example of Utamaro's artistry but also an important cultural artifact that offers a window into the Edo period's artistic and literary traditions. The work is significant for scholars studying ukiyo-e and Japanese art history, as well as for those interested in the broader cultural practices of 18th-century Japan.
