Description
A nightingale on a plum tree branch is a reference to a poem by the Chinese poet Hakurakuten (Ch. Bai Juyi [Po Chü-i]) (772-847). In the poem, the owner of a plum tree refuses to cut off a flowering branch because it will leave the nightingale without a place to perch. This is part of a set with Walters 51.1086.
