Japanese Hanging Scroll – Hawk on Cliff by Shōshin (尚信)

A powerful ink and color painting on silk depicting a hawk perched on a rugged cliff, its sharp gaze directed forward with commanding presence. The artist, Shōshin (尚信), captures the bird’s strength and alertness through delicate brushwork and subtle gradations of tone, emphasizing both grace and intensity.

The hawk, a traditional Japanese symbol of courage, vigilance, and noble spirit, is a favored subject in samurai culture and seasonal New Year displays. The earthy tones of the silk and gold-patterned mounting add a refined harmony, enhancing the natural dignity of the scene.

This hanging scroll remains in good vintage condition, showing natural aging consistent with its age, and is suitable for display in a tokonoma alcove or as part of a classic Japanese interior.
