EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured woodblock print, titled "Sparrowhawk (Konori taka), c. 1716" transports us back to the vibrant Edo period in Japan. Created by the talented Torii Kiyomasu I, this artwork showcases the intricate beauty of a majestic sparrowhawk perched on a tethered falconry equipment. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke and shade of colour, bringing life to the feathers that adorn this magnificent bird of prey. The plumage glistens with shades of brown and gold, capturing the essence of its natural habitat. With its sharp gaze and powerful stance, the sparrowhawk exudes strength and grace. As we delve into this piece from Arts of Asia collection at Art Institute Chicago, we are transported to a time when falconry was not only an art but also an integral part of Japanese culture. This print serves as a testament to both the artistic prowess and historical significance associated with birds like these during the Tokugawa period. Displayed vertically in oban tan-e format, this heritage artwork invites us to appreciate nature's wonders through Kiyomasu I's masterful printing technique. It stands as a reminder that even centuries later, art continues to bridge gaps between countries and cultures. Immerse yourself in this remarkable creation by Torii Kiyomasu I – let it transport you into an era where man connected with animals through tradition and reverence for their innate beauty.
