Yamamura Toyonari, artist of "Parakeet on Table" was a personable woodblock printmaker, noble birdwatcher, and nature enthusiast. This painting is of his beloved Red-Breasted Parakeet, Sora, who he has had since the age of ten. Toyonari admires pastel and jewel-tone colors and floral pattern arrangements. As a young child, his family often encouraged him to explore the world of visual arts. His mother, also a noteworthy woodblock printmaker, taught him how to carve his drawings into the scrap pieces of her spare woodblocks. He immediately fell in love with the carving and inking process and picked up the skill very quickly. Later on, he grew interested in wildlife and nature and developed a love for birds. He liked to sit by the pond near his childhood home in the outskirts of Tokyo, and paint pictures of cranes and swans that came by to visit. He would always have breadcrumbs and small berries to feed them. Toyonari also learned the art of the portrait and became one of the best young woodblock printers of his age group. As an adult, he was invited to make woodblock prints for the Emperor and the Court. He commonly printed portraits of the geishas and entertainers, as well.
Toyonari, now retired, lives with his wife and parakeet in the remote mountainside. He keeps company with a small flock of rescued birds both him and his partner nurse back to health, before releasing them back to the wild. He spends his early mornings with a warm cup of freshly brewed tea, made from herbs and flowers grown in his garden. Toyonari enjoys spending his time outside and admires the morning calls of the local songbirds. Oftentimes, while reclining in the relaxing sun, he paints the birds observed or the scenery around him. His love for nature has always stayed with him.
