Birds have been important in many scenes, including mythology, art, and science, since ancient times, and have been loved not only by scholars and artists but also by ordinary people. What do birds symbolize throughout this long history, and what does it mean for us living in the modern age to come into contact with this field of study? From academic perspectives such as folklore, art history, and environmental history, as well as from a wide variety of perspectives, including musicians, veterinarians, mountaineers, perfumers, and game creators, this book explores the coexistence with nature and the rediscovery of human society through birds.
