The print features a bullfinch perched on a flowering plum branch, rendered in delicate detail.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOhara Koson (1877-1945) was a Japanese artist associated with the Shin-Hanga movement. This artistic period, active in the early 20th century, aimed to revitalise traditional Ukiyo-e woodblock printing by incorporating Western influences and appealing to international markets. Koson, also known as Ohara Hōson and Shōson, is particularly celebrated for his depictions of birds and flowers (kachō-e), a popular subject in Japanese art. His work bridges traditional techniques with modern sensibilities. 'Bullfinch on Flowering Plum' exemplifies Koson's skill in capturing the delicate beauty of nature. The print features a bullfinch perched on a branch of a plum tree, its head tilted downwards. The bird's plumage is rendered with careful attention to detail, showcasing a blend of blues, blacks, and whites. The plum blossoms, depicted in shades of red and pink, add a touch of colour to the composition. The background is a soft, muted grey, which serves to accentuate the foreground elements. The composition is carefully balanced, with the branch of the plum tree extending diagonally across the print, creating a sense of depth and movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/asakusa-imado-utagawa-kuniyoshi\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAsakusa Imado - Utagawa Kuniyoshi — Utagawa Kuniyoshi\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-festival-of-lanterns-on-temma-bridge-utagawa-hiroshige\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Festival of Lanterns on Temma Bridge - Utagawa Hiroshige — Utagawa Hiroshige\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ohara Koson","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57690325287247,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57690329579855,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57690329612623,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57690329645391,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57690329678159,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Bullfinch-on-Flowering-Plum_Poster_CompositorV1_1778721244535.jpg?v=1778721863","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/bullfinch-on-flowering-plum-ohara-koson-1","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
