Large Japanese 6-panel byôbu 屏風 (folding screen) of perched taka 鷹 (hawks)
About the Item
Wonderful large six-panel byôbu (folding screen) covered with six separate hanging scroll paintings (kakejiku) depicting different taka (hawks) perched on rocks and branches situated in different seasons.
Their fearsome beauty and predatory features—sharp beaks, keen eyes, long curving talons— with an intense expression seen in the face of each bird, made them metaphors of martial training and the warrior spirit.
Falconry hunting with hawks bred in the countryside was practiced in Japan from ancient times.
As a sport it is thought to have come to Japan from China as early as the fourth century. During the Edo Period, it was patronized by the Shogunate, and an official master falconer was appointed. It also became popular among warriors, and many paintings of falcons and prized hawks with their solemn and majestic appearance came to be created in large numbers from the late Muromachi Period onwards.
The paintings are mainly done in black ink with some polychrome details set on a paper ground, mounted by paper panels with two silk borders, a golden brocade black thin one, and a broad navy blue one. Protected by a black lacquer frame with its original hardware.
