Rare 19th Century Japan Takagiri Falcon 4 Panel Byobu Folding Screen

From the prestigious Cole Collection, Honolulu - NR

Edges are lacquered wood with decorative brass accents
4 panel decorative screen or byobu which literally means “wind wall”
Featured on each panel is a traditional Japanese style painting on paper mounted on elegant brocade
Tethered falcon subjects, incredible attention to detail, note the fine plummage and the fierce eyes
Most likely dates to theMeiji Reign of 1868 to 1912 when these exquisite birds were trained for the great sport of falconry
Pair of wall mounting brackets are included
Hole at the back doesn't go all the way through and does not affect the painting in anyway and is mentioned only for the sake of accuracy
Characteristic wear from age such as toning especially at the top of the second panel, see photo
Recently acquired from the estate of a notable Hawaii collector of art and antiquities of which many objects are now housed in the Honolulu Art Museum
Very difficult to photograph and appears much better in person
