Japan Painting

Question by tarmanarmos: Which Dragon do you like better?
The Western Dragons as depicted in Medieval Art or the Oriental Dragons from China, Japan, and other Oriental cultures.
Western Dragons were viewed as evil, usually killed by heroic Knights rescuing the princess or some fair maiden.
Oriental Dragons are revered, bringers of good fortune provided you stay on their good side of course!
They are heavily seen in Oriental art, paintings, statues, et., etc.

Best answer:

Answer by Safyre
I’m afraid my bias is toward western dragons.
This is purely from an aesthetic point of view.
I find oriental dragons too serpentine for my tastes.
Not that I have anything against snakes, I just prefer a great big, lumbering, fire-breathing dragon that sits on any knight that *dares* raise a sword against it – WUMFFFF.

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.

CASTELLANO
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.

Small picture scrolls emerged in Japan during the fourteenth-century and were unusual in constituting approximately half the height of the narrative handscrolls that had been produced and appreciated in Japan for centuries.
