This reproduction presents a naturalist illustration of a cuckoo caught in mid-flight. Taken from the work of Kōno Bairei, this ornithological plate highlights the silhouette and wing span of the bird. The chromatic treatment in shades of grey and white reflects a desire for documentary realism typical of the period's illustrators.
Kōno Bairei was a central figure in naturalist art during the Meiji period in Japan. His work is distinguished by a scientific approach combined with the technical mastery of woodblock printing. This work illustrates the effort of classification and faithful representation of avian fauna undertaken by Japanese scholars and artists.
This ancient print is aimed at lovers of ornithology and traditional Japanese graphics. It lends itself to detailed observation of animal postures or to a sober presentation in wall decoration.
