PROVENANCE
Acquired by Bayer from Bernheimer by Carl Duisberg prior to1930 - Partial age damage and surface change due to many years of presentation in the park
Geese (雁,kari) are frequently depicted in pairs,thus serving as a symbol of loyalty,partnership and family cohesion. The act of travelling and overcoming obstacles in tandem reflects these characteristics. Moreover,due to their characteristic flight behaviour,geese also represent seasonal cycles,change and transience. Their seasonal journeys are widely interpreted in Japanese aesthetics and literature as a metaphor for the fleeting nature of life,and this is reflected in the constant coming and going that characterises human exist-ence. Geese are also frequently associated with freedom,self-determination and the spiritual journey,due to the considerable distances they are capable of travelling
