To the right of the image is a description of the painting\u2019s origins by Minagawa Kien, a renowned Confucian scholar and close friend of \u014ckyo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The discovery of the raven was reported to the court by Imperial Prince Shin-ninh\u014d (1768\u20131805) who was a monk at My\u014dho-in Temple. On 8 December of the same year, the Emperor K\u014dkaku performed an imperial inspection of the raven. On 7 January 1776, the prince \u2014 who had been studying painting under \u014ckyo \u2014 sent a messenger to his teacher, ordering him to create a painting of the white raven. However, it seems that \u014ckyo was out attending to another matter, so his son Maruyama \u014czui and student Yamamoto Shurei went in his stead to the hunter\u2019s house to draw the raven. On 13 January, the raven was released in the place where it had been captured, and it was forbidden to capture the raven again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it is not known whether \u014ckyo was able to see the raven with his own eyes, this work is unusual in that it depicts a specific and identifiable raven.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Maruyama \u014ckyo1787Donated by Homma Y\u016bsuke This painting depicts a white raven (brown in real life) caught by&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-568","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/568","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=568"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/568\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":569,"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/568\/revisions\/569"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=568"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=568"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=568"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
