Description

Artist: Koson Ohara

Title: Willow Bridge

Publisher: Shozaburo Watanabel

Date: 1927

Medium: Japanese woodblock print

Size: oban, 10.5 x 15.4 inches

Koson's most sought after print in a pre-war edition.

OHARA KOSON (1877-1945), who also went by the art names of Shoson and Hoson, began his career as the student of Suzuki Koson where he painted flora and fauna between 1895-1902 gradually becoming known as a "Nihonga" painter in the Kacho-ga (nature print) genre. Briefly during the Russo-Japanese war Koson produced Senso-e (war prints), but the vast majority of his early prints (1900 -1912) were nature prints designed for the North American and European markets for the publishers Kokkeido and Daikokuya. These prints were all signed "Koson". Between 1912-1926 Koson returned to painting, but using the name “Shoso”, he continued to design woodblock prints, this time in collaboration with S. Watanabe. Koson also produced prints using the name "Hoson” which were published by Kawaguchi between 1930-1931.

While the artists' prints had always been sold abroad, Koson’s success was assured as a result of the 1930 and 1936 Toledo Museum exhibitions. More prints by Koson were sold during these shows than any other artists' due to their artistic merit and their relatively inexpensiveness in comparison with of theworks of Yoshida, Shinsui, Hasui and others. Koson’s career peaked in the mid 1930's. His work is realistic, based mainly on his own sketches and watercolors. It is estimated that he produced more than 450 designs of birds.
