Falconry
Umezawa Seiga19th century, Edo-Meiji period
Tachibana Museum
Fukuoka-ken, Japan
This painting depicts a tense moment in falconry. The eagle’s ankle strap indicates that it is a shogun’s falcon. To allow the viewer to focus on the falcon, Umezawa Seiga (?-1864) omits the details of the background except for the reed leaves on the water surface. It makes the impression of the falcon more dignified.
