This refined hanging scroll depicts a springtime falconry scene, showing a mounted nobleman advancing calmly through a gentle landscape. The rider, dressed in richly patterned garments, carries a falcon on his arm, accompanied by a hound running alongside the horse. Sparse spring foliage and softly contoured mountains unfold into the distance, creating a serene narrative atmosphere. The composition balances figure painting with landscape, guiding the viewer’s eye vertically from foreground action to misty hills beyond. Delicate line work articulates the horse’s movement and the detailed costume, while restrained mineral pigments lend warmth and seasonal clarity. Falconry, historically associated with courtly culture and elite warrior classes, symbolizes refinement, discipline, and authority. Kakyo’s interpretation emphasizes elegance and calm rather than drama, characteristic of Taishō–Shōwa Nihonga aesthetics. The artist’s signature and seal are visible, contributing to the work’s authenticity and decorative appeal.
