Falconer (Takajō)

Artwork · Anonymous · 18th century · kakemono · Minneapolis Institute of Art

An Ōtsu-e, the cheap painted icons and pictures sold along the Tōkaidō at Ōtsu: a samurai falconer of the kind that travelled in the retinue of a great daimyo, his simplicity and the glum-looking bird on his arm adding a note of whimsy. 1 Mason 2005, pp. 279–280, fig. 318. ↩ Literatur Mason 2005: Penelope E.
