Couldn't load pickup availability
Kōno Bairei's Peregrine Falcon will grace your walls like a feathered emissary from Meiji-era Japan. This kacho-e print, plucked from the 1913 Barei Gakan, isn't just bird art—it's an ornithological revolution. Like ukiyo-e tradition taking flight, soaring into Western-influenced realism.
Bairei's brush conjures a falcon so lifelike, you'll swear you hear wingbeats. The creamy backdrop sets the stage for a plumage pageant: velvety black crown, sun-kissed breast feathers, and wing coverts kissed by ethereal blue. That penetrating gaze, ringed in blazing orange-red, challenges you to look deeper. This isn't just decor; it's a portal to Japan's artistic metamorphosis.
Bairei's falcon embodies the Meiji spirit—proud tradition embracing bold new horizons. Hang this print, and you'll own a slice of history: the moment Japanese art spread its wings and soared into modernity. For connoisseurs of Asian wildlife art, this is your chance to capture the pinnacle of Meiji-period avian illustration.
Origin Story
Wall Art Size Guides
Framed Art Prints
1. Vertical
Use the sawtooth hanger at the top middle on the back of the frame and hang it on a single screw or nail.
2. Horizontal
Hang the two sawtooth hangers on two screws or nails at the same heightPut two screws or nails in the wall at the same height, spaced the same distance apart as the two sawtooth hangers, then hang your print on them.
Framed Canvas
1. D-rings (most secure)
Screw a D-ring onto the back of the frame on the left and right, both at the same height. A ruler helps here. Then put two screws in the wall where you want your canvas, level with each other and spaced the same distance apart as the D-rings. A spirit level makes this easier. Finally, hook the D-rings onto the screws.
2. Straight onto screws
Keep it simple: put two screws in the wall at the same height and rest the inner lip at the top of the back of the frame on them.
