The composition demonstrates the refined naturalism and soft tonal gradation characteristic of the Shin-hanga movement of the early to mid-20th century. The delicate rendering of scales, fins, and underwater vegetation reflects Shōson’s celebrated kacho-ga (bird-and-flower) style adapted to aquatic subject matter. Printed in traditional woodblock technique with subtle bokashi shading. Details Artist: Ohara Shoson (1877-1945)  Signature: Shoson, lower right Seal: Red artist seal Movement: Shin-hanga Medium: Color woodblock print Image size: approx. 10.25 x 15.25 in Sheet: Full margins visible Date: Early to mid-20th century Condition: Age toning to margins; minor foxing; color strong; no visible trimming. Catalogue Note Itō Shōson was active during the Shin-hanga revival movement, producing refined natural subjects distinguished by elegant line and atmospheric color gradation. His works remain collectible within the 20th-century Japanese print market, particularly when condition and color are strong.

    Est: £1,500 - £2,000

    An otanzakuban print: depicting a solitary egret perched on one leg on the snow- covered trunk of a willow tree, reserved against a pitch-black sky night peppered with snowflakes drifting in the background, published by Watanabe Shozaburo; signed Shoson with a large red seal Shoson. 37.7cm X 17.2cm Universally recognised as one of the iconic images within the artist’s oeuvre, this print ranks among Koson’s most sought-after works. The distinguished Japanese print scholar Richard Illing once hailed it as a “masterpiece of graphic art”. The rare and early impression offered here is notable for its superb printing quality and remarkable preservation of colour—most strikingly, the survival of green pigment on the bird’s beak A comparable impression of this same design is held in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, (object no. RP-P-2003-220;) another impression though lacking the vivid green on the beak—is illustrated by Amy Newland et. al., Crows, Cranes & Camellias: The Natural World of Ohara Koson 1877-1945, 2001, p.52, cat. no.156

Koson Ohara (Shoson) was a master of early 20th century kacho-e (bird-and-flower pictures). With meticulous detail, soft color, and a palpable reverence for flora and fauna, Koson carried the genre into the modern era. He began his artistic career studying painting under the Shijo-style master Kason. Around the turn of the century, Koson became a teacher at the Tokyo School of Fine Arts, where he met Ernest Fenollosa, an American collector, scholar and admirer of Japanese art and culture, who persuaded Koson in 1905 to export his bird prints to American art collectors. His earliest and rarest designs were notable for their narrow formats and soft colors. Additional high-resolution photos are available at www.lelandlittle.com
