Peregrine Falcon - Kōno Bairei Meiji Era Bird Art Print

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.
