Ohara Koson (1877-1945) was a kacho-e (flower and bird pictures) painter who was active from the end of the Meiji period through the Taisho and Showa periods. It is said to be a master of the new print style of flower and bird painting, which is an image of flowers and birds.
This is a woodblock reproduction in which Numabe Woodblock (a Shin Hanga publisher) handled everything from reproducing the woodblock to printing. They aimed to express the wood grain, which is one of the charms of Koson’s work, and to bring out the unique colors and expressions of woodblock prints that are etched into the paper.
Normally an ukiyo-e print takes just over 10 to complete, this one took more than 50 prints to complete.
