The Hawk with Talent Hides its Talons (nou aru taka wa tsume wo kakusu): Japanese Scroll by Master Eri Takase

Description

Master Takase personally brushes your Japanese scroll when you order. The Hawk with Talent Hides its Talons in Japanese is 能ある鷹は爪を隠す which is read nou aru taka wa tsume wo kakusu. Jeffrey’s Dictionary has the meaning as “a wise man keeps some of his talents in reserve; one shouldn’t show off; the person who knows most often says least”. In Even Monkeys Fall from Trees: The Wit and Wisdom of Japanese Proverbs (Vol 1) by David Galef the author translates this as “A clever hawk hides its claws” and equates it with the saying “He who knows most speaks least”. This high-quality Japanese scroll is imported from Nara Japan and is meant to last generations. Your scroll is shipped within 1-3 business days from Master Takase's studio in Washington State and arrives ready to display.
