Eagle on a Plum Branch - Ohara Koson (1877-1945) - Japan

A beautiful and atmospheric Shin-Hanga woodblock print by Ohara Koson (1877–1945), one of Japan’s most celebrated artists of bird-and-flower prints (kachō-e). This is a woodblock print titled "Eagle", created during the late Meiji to Taisho period. Created by Koson, a renowned master of bird-and-flower prints who gained high international acclaim from the Meiji through early Showa eras, this work captures a majestic eagle perched with a sharp gaze upon a branch. Particularly beautiful are the subtle printing techniques used. The feathers are partly rendered through blind printing (karazuri), creating a delicate embossed texture that becomes visible as the light catches the paper. Subtle touches of colour in the bird’s beak and plumage provide a striking contrast against the monochromatic winter scene. The combination of the background and finely detailed bird is characteristic of Koson’s sophisticated approach to nature subjects. This design was published by Daikokuya, with the artist signing the work under the name Shōson. The print is in the distinctive o-tanzaku format, measuring approximately 38 × 18 cm. The impression and colours are particularly beautiful, and the print is described as being in excellent condition. Signature: Shōson with red Artist's Seal Shōson Publisher: Daikokuya Condition: Very good margins, excellent quality.
