Falconry (takagari) was a highly esteemed pursuit among the upper ranks of the samurai class prior to and throughout the Edo period. The powerful, dignified nature of these birds embodied samurai ideals, and favoured hawks were frequently commemorated in paintings, including hanging scrolls and folding screens such as this example.
