EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Falcon and Egret, 16th century (1886)" transports us back to ancient Japan. The artwork is a reproduction of an engraving by Sogo Chokuan, a renowned artist from the Chinese School. It was featured in the book "The Pictorial Arts of Japan" by William Anderson, published in London in 1886. In this piece, we witness nature's raw power as a falcon confronts an egret with its outstretched wings. The predatory instinct of both birds is palpable; they symbolize the eternal struggle between life and death. The monochrome palette adds depth to their intertwined dance. The print not only showcases the artistic prowess of Sogo Chokuan but also provides insight into Japanese culture during the sixteenth century. Birds held great significance in Japanese art and were often used as symbols representing various concepts such as freedom or beauty. As we admire this exquisite work, we are transported to another time and place – a country where art seamlessly merged with nature. This print serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Japanese artistry and reminds us of our connection to the natural world around us.
