A woodblock print by Ohara Koson, "Cat and Bowl of Goldfish" depicts a curious cat observing goldfish in a bowl, showcasing delicate lines and subtle colours typical of the Ukiyo-e style.
Ohara Koson (1877-1945) was a Japanese artist renowned for his woodblock prints of birds and flowers (kachō-e). He initially trained in painting, but later shifted to printmaking, working with publishers such as Watanabe Shōzaburō. Koson's work blends traditional Japanese techniques with a Western aesthetic, appealing to both domestic and international audiences. His prints are characterised by their delicate lines, subtle colours, and careful attention to detail. In "Cat and Bowl of Goldfish", Koson depicts a black-and-white cat, adorned with a red ribbon, peering intently at a round goldfish bowl. Three goldfish swim within the bowl, their orange bodies providing a striking contrast to the cool blue water. A small net rests nearby, suggesting a playful interaction between the cat and its aquatic companions. The composition is simple yet engaging, capturing a moment of curiosity and anticipation. The print showcases Koson's skill in rendering textures and patterns, from the cat's fur to the scales of the goldfish.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
