Katsunobu Kawahito often paints children in an old fashioned style, which gives his works a human interest and makes them heartwarming. In this painting, the child offers “sake” (Japanese rice wine) to the crane and the turtle, which are symbols of longevity. This work is typical of Katsunobu Kawahito, who loves sake. We can almost hear the sounds of a party. The calligraphy is about wishing for longevity. The depictions of the pine tree, bamboo and plum tree give an auspicious atmosphere to this work, because it is believed that “shou-chiku-bai” (a combination of pine, bamboo and a plum tree) is a lucky symbol. Although they are simply depicted, we can see his high degree of painting skill from these depictions through quick brushwork and minimal detail.
