About the work
Isoda Koryūsai was catering to the tastes of warriors, who used falcons for hunting, when he designed this image of a proud white falcon set against a solid black background. The print’s large size is reminiscent of the more formal hanging-scroll paintings typically collected by the samurai class. It is one of the few hand-colored prints the artist made using a complex technique that mimics stone rubbing.
