Hawk
The hawk is traditionally a symbol of nobility and wealth, due to the expense of training and caring for the birds.
Falconry in Japan (Takagari)
Falconry has a long history in Japan beginning in the 4th century, originally coming from China via Korea. Due to the time, effort and cost of keeping birds it has always been a pursuit dominated by nobles or wealthy individuals. Goshawks and Eagles being popular and high status birds to won, falconry was used to entertain but also to settle disputes between lords.
