Abstract

This report introduces Japanese paintings of hawks and falconry, based on previous studies. Furthermore, in this report, hypotheses will be suggested regarding the features of Japanese hawk paintings with respect to the studies on the Chinese paintings. Since most studies on the paintings of hawks in Japan have developed through introduction and discussions of each individual work, much less comprehensive research results have been presented in the present circumstances. On the other hand, studies related to the Chinese paintings that significantly influenced the Japanese paintings, have achieved notable results. Thus, referring to the results of research into Chinese paintings of hawks, the formation and development of paintings, pictures and sculptures of hawks can be understood. In addition, some studies have endeavored to find the political intentions of works from the relationships between motifs and patrons, and these results have been reported by not only Japanese researchers, but by those overseas. In contrast to the significant progress of the research/studies on paintings of hawks, there are few studies investigating falconry paintings, which is one subject within the category of genre paintings. Among such studies, however, those of Riko IMAHASHI are important pioneering works; and, papers have been written citing IMAHASHl's studies. In recent years, moreover, previously unknown paintings of folding screens and picture scrolls are surfacing successively. In many cases, however, they are still being exhibited without discussion or analysis; hence, further comprehensive studies on hawking paintings are anticipated.
