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!"

Kloss Gibbon Singing In this video clip, that includes an additional 2 photos, you can see kloss gibbons up close. It preservation is very important and it’s population as decreased by around half in the past 30 years. The video is a #repost from @swaraowa via @PhotoAroundApp greeting from the wild of #Mentawai forest. #InternationalGibbonday The two photos, added to the video, are a #repost from @markleonspence via @PhotoAroundApp Mark Spence wrote “Kloss' gibbon with his feet up, mid song. One of Mentawai's endemic primates and another one of Indonesia's primates that is unfortunately endangered. It's numbers have declined by approximately 50% in the last thirty years. They are said to be fiercely territorial, using their ridiculously amazing singing to ward off rivals but when we saw this guy he was part of a group of at least ten. Whether that was a weird coincidence or something else I don't know but trying to focus on that many gibbons leaping around in such a small area was just totally overwhelming.” #gibbon #klossgibbon #hylobatesklossii #gibbonsofinstagram #kloss #hylobates #siberut #tamannasionalsiberut #indonesiawildlifephotography #primate #IUCN #gibbonwatching #IndonesianGibbon #primatewatching #primataIndonesia #klossGibbon #gibbonproject #conservationfieldwork #Bilou #swaraOwa #KlossGibbons #SaveTheGibbons #SaveTheRainforest www.swaraOwa.blogspot.com (at Kepulauan Mentawai) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-OM66DgUcu/?igshid=1n9v9x3fply5x
