"The Hawks in the Pines" is a renowned pair of six-panel folding screens (byōbu) painted by Eitoku Kano (1543–1590), a preeminent Japanese artist of the Azuchi-Momoyama period. This work is considered a masterpiece of Japanese screen painting and is a prime example of the Kano school's style, which was characterized by bold compositions, strong brushwork, and a powerful sense of dynamism. Eitoku, the grandson of Kano Motonobu, was instrumental in developing this style, which came to dominate Japanese painting for centuries.

The screens depict hawks perched on pine branches, with the birds of prey rendered in meticulous detail, showcasing Eitoku's skill in capturing both the physical characteristics and the essence of these animals. The use of gold leaf in the background is a distinctive feature, creating a shimmering effect that contrasts with the naturalistic portrayal of the hawks and the pines. This technique also serves to highlight the status and power of the patrons who commissioned such works, as gold was a luxury reserved for the most affluent and influential members of society.

"The Hawks in the Pines" screens are celebrated for their embodiment of the vigorous and grandiose aesthetic that was favored by the samurai class and the ruling elite during the late 16th century. The artwork reflects the cultural and political milieu of the time, where displays of opulence and strength were paramount. Today, the screens are highly valued for their historical significance, artistic excellence, and as a symbol of the cultural renaissance that occurred during the Momoyama period. They are considered national treasures and are preserved in prominent collections, including the Tokyo National Museum, where they are displayed to the public and continue to be studied and admired for their artistic and cultural importance.
