对展翅天空的向往
A Longing for Wings
江户时代为后世留下了大量的鸟图,其中有的是为工艺或绘画作品而作的草图,也有的是为博物图谱绘制的插图。图中所描绘的既有人们熟悉的鸟类,也有来自海外的珍禽,甚至还有一些传说中的鸟等等。这些图无不饱含了江户人对展翅天空的美好憧憬,以及对未知世界的无限向往。
During the Edo Period 1603~1868, all kinds of birds familiar birds, rare birds imported to Japan from abroad, even imaginary birds were sketched and compiled into illustrated reference books in order to produce craftworks and paintings.
These depictions often carry a yearning to fly freely in the sky, and dreams about unknown lands.
