For #InternationalGibbonDay:

Sesson Shūkei 雪村周継 (c. 1504 – c. 1589) Gibbons in a Landscape Japan, Muromachi Period, c. 1570 Pair of six-panel screens, each 157.5 x 348 cm Monochrome ink on paper The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

Gibbons aren't native to Japan; the iconography was adopted into Japanese art through Chinese art, especially the paintings of Muqi Fachang (f. 13th century) and the popular Zen motif of a gibbon grasping at the reflection of the moon in the water.

This entry in a 19th century Japanese book reports what may have been the first live gibbon exhibited in Japan, in 1809. Likely brought by a Dutch ship; said to be from Java and referred to as "wau-wau," a name for the Silvery Gibbon (Hylobates moloch).

The book is _Kenkadō-zatsuroku_ by Kimura Kenkadō (1736-1802), 1856; drawing by Mori Sosen (1747-1821), a famous Japanese monkey painter.

Text translated as follows:

"In the winter of the sixth year of the Bunko era (1809), a gibbon was shown in Osaka, in the Dōtombori ward. Although we have heard the word 'gibbon' since olden times, and seen pictures of him, we never had seen a live specimen, and therefore a large crowd assembled to see this gibbon. Generally he resembled a large macaque, and figure and fur are very similar. The face is black the fur grey with a touch of brown. The Hollander 'Captain' Hendrik Doeff who was then staying here said that this gibbon occurs on the island of Java where it is called 'wau-wau'. Truly an extraordinary sight!"
