Antique Japanese Woodblock Print- Wading Bird in Flight
Page from the 1881 book "Album of 100 Birds" depicting a snipe flying through the air by Kōno Bairei (Japanese b. 1844 d. 1895.) The bird has its feet stretched behind it as it takes flight from the marshy area shown in the bottom of the print. Long horizontal lines given the impression of water below the bird, while leafy plant matter spills in from the right edge of the print. Both the bird and the plant are simply but effectively rendered, through a mix of line work and ink tinting.

Image size: 8.25" x 6" W
Kōno Bairei was a Japanese artist active during the second half of the 19th century. He was known for his painting and book illustrations, particularly his bird and flower paintings. In 1851, he studied with Nakajima Raisho, a painter of the Maruyama school. The Maruyama school often synthesized western realism with traditional Japanese painting techniques, evidenced in Bairei's work. He later studied with a master of the Shijo school, Shiokawa Bunrin. In 1880, Bairei founded an art school where he taught prominent artist such as Takeuchi Seihō, Kawai Gyokudō, and Uemura Shōen.

Kono Bairei
Kono Bairei was a Japanese painter, art teacher and book illustrator. He was born on March 3rd, 1844, in Kyoto, Japan. He was a member of the Ukiyo-e school of painting and became a master for Kacho-e or the depiction of birds and flowers. One characteristic of Bairei’s art is the Western-style realism that he added to his pieces, making his work very important in determining what the wildlife of Japan was like at that time. Many of his works were published in books, usually classified by the type of animals he was painting.
