ENGLISH
Falconry or hawking is an art or sport which involves the use of trained raptors (birds of prey) to hunt or pursue game for humans. There are two traditional terms used to describe a person involved in falconry: a falconer flies a falcon; an austringer flies a hawk (accipiter). In modern falconry, buteos are now commonly used, and the words "hawking" and "hawker" have become used so much to mean petty travelling traders, so "falconer" and "falconry" now apply to all use of trained birds of prey to catch game.
Traditional view of falconry state that the art started in Mesopotamia. The earliest evidence comes from around the reign of Sargon II (722-705 BC). Falconry was probably introduced to Europe around AD 400, when the Huns and Alans invaded from the East. Frederick II of Hohenstaufen has been noted as one of the early European noblemen to take an interest in falconry. He is believed to have obtained firsthand knowledge of Arabic falconry during wars in the region (between June 1228–June 1229). He obtained a copy of Moamyn’s manual on falconry and had it translated into Latin by Theodore of Antioch. Frederick himself made corrections to the translation in 1241 resulting in De Arte Venandi cum Avibus (The Art of Hunting with Birds).
Historically, falconry was a popular sport, and status symbol, among the nobles of medieval Europe and feudal Japan; in Japan it is called takagari. Eggs and chicks of birds of prey were quite rare and expensive, and since the process of raising and training a hawk or falcon takes a lot of time and money and space, it was more or less restricted to the noble classes. In Japan, there were even strict restrictions on who could hunt which sorts of animals and where, based on rank within the samurai class. In art and in other aspects of culture such as literature, falconry remained a status symbol long after falconry was no longer popularly practiced. Eagles and hawks displayed on the wall could represent the noble himself, metaphorically, as noble and fierce. Woodblock prints or paintings of falcons or falconry scenes could be bought by wealthy commoners, and displayed as the next best thing to partaking in the sport, again representing a certain degree of nobility.

La cetrería es el arte de criar, entrenar y curar halcones y otras aves rapaces para la caza de volatería. En general se puede decir que es una caza de aves y pequeños cuadrúpedos que se practica desde la antigüedad medieval con halcones, azores, cernícalos y otras rapaces capaces de perseguir la presa en el aire hasta derribarla o matarla.
Los antiguos vestigios y documentos sobre cetrería muestran que en la mayoría de los casos se trataba de un deporte aristocrático en el que participaban reyes y otros personajes poderosos.
Los orígenes de la cetrería son muy antiguos y se cree que se originó en Asia. Es posible que se haya descubierto en China, ya que existen muchas referencias sobre la práctica de la cetrería antes de Cristo en diversos textos chinos y japoneses.
El mundo greco-latino no practicó la cetrería. Algunas de las representaciones que se hacen pasar como de cetrería, tan sólo lo son de lo que entre los romanos se llama aucupio (captura de pájaros, chuchería, pajaritería).
Parase que a Europa occidental llegó de mano de las invasiones godas. El primer testimonio gráfico, datado en el siglo V d. C., se encuentra en los mosaicos de la Villa del Halconero en Argos (Grecia). Posteriormente se mencionará el las leyes de los pueblos germánicos que poco a poco fueron traspasando las fronteras del Imperio de Roma y se asentaron al sur de los ríos Rín y Danubio.
En Europa la época dorada de esta arte y afición fue la Edad Media. Se puede decir que más o menos desde el siglo VI hasta el siglo XVI, en el que se practicaba la caza con halcones y azores, disfrutó de su mayor auge y difusión. Esta técnica venatoria perdió terreno frente a las novedosas armas de fuego y, también, a causa de lo costoso que era mantener un buen equipo de halcones y halconeros, pues la cetrería, por lo general, fue una práctica reservada para reyes y grandes señores, aunque no había ninguna ley que se la prohibiera al pueblo llano, pero para obtener comida había métodos más efectivos y seguros.

ARTIST WITH A BRUSH PHOTOGRAPHED BY AN ARTIST WITH A CAMERA — A Rare Image from Old Japan
Image by Okinawa Soba (On the Road for a While)
This ca.1915-1928 image by T. ENAMI is only one of a handful of fine views I’ve seen from the Bakumatsu, Meiji, and Taisho eras showing a seated artist at work in old Japan (Link to another one given at bottom of this caption). Not only do we have a large "canvas" being brought to completion, there is also a blank wall-scroll waiting for an inspired picture (or work of calligraphy), and a finished scroll as well.
The large array of brushes and pigment bowls is also clearly shown. This is a far cry from what a similar Western scene would show — the artist seated in a chair or standing before a canvas, with his colors spread out for mixing on a hand-held pallet. A similar scene of shallow pigment bowls being used by "colorists" who are busy tinting old Meiji-era photographs can be seen here : www.flickr.com/photos/24443965@N08/2494892753/
The word "Artist" was a pretty clear term until Photographers came along. Suddenly, an "Artist with a brush" (so to speak) had to contend with "Cameramen" and "Photographers" also calling themselves "Artists". And some of these folks with brush and paint took exception to that. They complained that Photographers with their funny little boxes and (horror of horrors) unnatural black and white "miniatures" — many of them crooked or blurred — had no right to fraudulently deceive people by calling their images works of "Art".
Photographer Herbert G. Ponting, who toured Japan for most of five years from 1901 to 1906, took exception with the complaints of the old Painters. He was one of those who did not like to be called a Photographer. He preferred the term "Artist" — especially as it applied to himself. : www.flickr.com/photos/24443965@N08/2360328226/
In the end, the dust surrounding the semantics and pride associated with the word "Artist" settled out with an acceptable compromise. Today, we can find many old imprints and engraved card backs with "ARTISTIC PHOTOGRAPHER" accompanying the name of whoever the illustrious (or long forgotten) cameraman might be.
These days, no one would argue that the camera has produced some of the most soul-stirring images the world has ever seen — both, still, motion, stereoscopic, and holographic (and even creative combinations of all these!). Much of it can be found right here on flickr. And no one disputes the fact that there are also a lot of uninspired Painters out there who could not paint their way out of a bathtub.
As for the above anonymous "brush image" of a waterfall in the snow (painted a second time by sunbeams onto the small piece of glass inside of Enami’s camera), I am as happy with it as I am with photograph itself.

Surfing Off Kanagawa
Image by Kaptain Kobold
Because I heard that there was a Great Wave Off Kanagawa.
Today the Rogues are surfin’, but I threw in a bonus Bench Monday as well.
And, yes, I’m surfing fully clothed. It was too cold to do otherwise. And I’d have posed better, had it not been for the fact that my bench was wobbly and unstable – not really designed for standing on, and especially not by a (very slightly) overweight middle-aged guy who should know better.
(It was only after I did this did I realise that I’d used a modified version of the print, rather than the original. I have no idea who to credit it to. Sorry.)

The painting style seems to be based on old Japanese art… Yet the subject matter of opening a condom with a modern plastic wrapper seems to be contemporary.
biting, opening condom.
condom, girl, hot springs, painting.

BACKSTORY: We were only scheduled to be in town for about 26 hours. And that included *two* sleeps. Combined with the SubGenius devival we were going to later that day, we really didn’t have much time to do anything. We woke up, walked around Chinatown, ate, and then headed to the Museum Of Sex to see what oddities it had to offer. Then we went straight to the SubGenius Devival in Astoria afterward.

10 yen – “Butterflies” (after T. Fujishima) painted 1904
Takeji Fujishima – born Kagoshima, 18 Sept 1867; d Tokyo, 19 March 1943). Japanese painter. After studying Nihonga (modern Japanese-style painting), in 1884 he went to Tokyo, where he became the pupil of the Shijo-school artist Kawabata Gyokusho (1842-1913). He changed to Yoga (Western-style painting) in 1890, studying with Yukihiko Soyama (1859-92) and Hosui Yamamoto (1850-1906). When the course in Yoga was established at the Tokyo School of Fine Arts (now Tokyo University of Fine Arts and Music) in 1896, he was made an assistant professor on the recommendation of Seiki Kuroda (1866-1924), at the same time becoming a member of the Hakubakai (White Horse Society). Through his contact with Kuroda he was introduced to plein-air painting, but he was soon influenced by Art Nouveau and other European fin-de-si?cle styles.

In 1988 I spent a summer as a missionary/English teacher in Japan. Here are a few of my tokens from that trip. On the write is a Bible verse in Japanese. I would love it if someone could tell me which one! I am not sure my light was very bright that summer, but it was amazing to live with those who had to make great sacrifices for their faith.

I was so excited to find this little pitcher – a perfect match to the Hand-Painted Japanese Dishes. The paint is in great shape, vivid and unscratched. There is a small chip on the outside lip of the pitcher, but it so hard to spot that I still consider this piece to be in great vintage condition.

SEATED GEISHA
Image by Okinawa Soba (On the Road for a While)
While the Geisha are usually thought of as more ornate and colorful than the prostitutes across town, such was not always the case. Here we have a plain and simple Geisha.
This 1870s-80s image shows fine close detail of the kimono weave. If you line up all of the GEISHA photos from the 1860s to the 1930s you will see their HAIR get bigger and BIGGER with FANCIER tuck, tie, and flair; the collar of their Kimono behind the neck gradually drops down further and further, and their Kimonos become more and more ORNATE, with more unusually patterned OBI. Anyway, I liked this shot from the days when things were more simple….a far cry from the comparatively EXAGGERATED styles of today’s Geisha.
On the other hand, today’s "Decorative" Geisha are just the thing for color photography, especially with that train-load of paint they dip themselves in, the top-heavy wigs, and (without a doubt) those Technicolor wonders of beautiful silk Kimonos.
And there you have it — in the good old days, the Geisha were relatively simple and functional. TODAY, they are walking works of art — more decorative and anachronistic than a truly functioning part of society like they really were back in the Meiji-Taisho eras of these old Photos.
Poem Accompanying an Overrobe (Uchikake) with Bamboo by Rai San’yo
Image by peterjr1961
Poem Accompanying an Overrobe (Uchikake) with Bamboo by Rai San’yo
Japan, Edo period, dated 1824
This poem was inspired by an overrobe. Painted by the renowned Nanga artist Gion Nankai, the garment was treasured for generations by the Karakane family. In 1824, on the occasion of the marriage of a young Karakane woman and the inclusion of the overrobe in her dowry, the prominent poet and Confucian scholar Rai San’yo was commissioned to compose a poem about the garment. This Kanshi (a poem written entirely in Chinese characters) is the result.
Multiple interpretations of San’yo’s poem have been suggested: a conservative reading focuses on Nankai’s calligraphic painting of the garment, while another refers to more overtly sensual content. At one point, in an abrupt departure from the narrative, the poet addresses the reader (and Nankai), warning of the dangers of excess by mentioning the disgraced Chinese official Yang Shen, who was exiled on account of his hedonistic lifestyle.
In his postscript to the poem, San’yo writes that he agreed to compose the poem because Nankai haf agreed to paint the overrobe. Perhaps San’yo fely the need to justify his involvement in a project devoted to a woman’s garment by couching it in terms of his relationship to his Nanga forebear.
Long sleeves of twilled silk from Wu, as white as snow.
Upon them painted bamboo thrusts as if alive.
Madam [Shimo]mara, from the north hall of the Karakane family.
In her wedding trousseau, precious without compare.
Carefully wrapped up at the bottom of a chest, no one dares to wear it.
Her grandmother’s thing, handed down by her mother.
Who could have paint such beautiful bamboo.
The record states by Gion known as Yoichi.
Ah, Nankai, was itf he or not?
For the one in the ladies chamber, he painted the skirt of a robe.
At the time, old man Karakane was a dilettante.
On famous gardens, he composed splendid poems.
Once he persuaded the master [Nankai] to stay at his mansion.
The whole household rejoiced, waited upon him, and surrounded him like a human screen.
At times, with wine at his side, he dipped into the ink.
Droplets make Xiang rain from the movements of his hand.
[The brush,] like rising hare and swooping falcon, without care for where it might land.
Cloths and socks of the same fabric, the brush abruptly flew.
The fair ones stretched out silk in substitution of a silk canvas.
Facing straight at the skirts, here thin here plump, contesting.
Sir, do you not know that the formerly Yang Shen was exiled to Dian [Yunnan] and Shu [Sichuan]?
On the pretty girl’s robe always remains the scent of wine and ink.
Men say, "Enough to wear down a man’s spirit."
But, what the famous did was unfathomable.
The lady still knows how to respect old excellence.
What her family instructions urged was unlike present fashions.
Nowadays, the eyes of rich young men in silk trousers are callow.
She is willing to believe that ink traces are superior to fine silk garments.
I make a song to sing of this affair.
What coils in the bosom is ten-thousand-foot bamboo.
—-Rai Sanyo
