One of my favourite subjects in Japanese Art is the depiction of hawks, falcons and other birds of prey.

I recently acquired this pair of large scrolls (from Japan).

They appear to carry the seal of Kano Naonobu (1519-1592ish). They are said to be two paintings from a now lost Kano hawk byobu screen that were remounted as scrolls in 1914. 
Do we have any Kano knowledge on our Forum?

Does that provenance seem possible?

Certainly the paintings are older than the scroll mountings and they look “right” to me but really, I bought them because I absolutely love them.

Any opinions anyone?

Many thanks.
