Description

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.

About the Artist

Kōno Bairei, born in 1844 in Kyoto, was a Meiji-era artist who transformed traditional Japanese painting with his masterful depictions of birds and flowers. Blending Maruyama-Shijo traditions with elements of Western realism, Bairei's work brought fresh vitality to classic themes. His renowned "Album of One Hundred Birds" was a celebrated masterpiece that drew admiration from both ornithologists and art enthusiasts. As a teacher, Bairei mentored future legends like Takeuchi Seihō, nurturing Kyoto's art scene. His brushwork, a harmony of delicate petals and vibrant feathers, captured nature’s fleeting beauty, blending innovation with tradition in a way that endures today.
