A woodblock print by Ohara Koson, depicting a white-fronted goose in flight against a full moon. The artwork showcases the artist's skill in capturing the beauty and movement of birds in a serene, nocturnal setting.
Ohara Koson (1877-1945) was a Japanese artist renowned for his woodblock prints of birds and flowers, a category known as kacho-e. Active during the late Meiji period into the Showa period, Koson initially trained in painting before turning to printmaking. He collaborated with several publishers, including Watanabe Shōzaburō, and adopted different artist names throughout his career. His work was popular both in Japan and abroad, appealing to Western tastes for Japonisme. This print depicts a white-fronted goose in flight, viewed from below against a full moon. The goose's wings are spread wide, showing the detailed feather patterns in shades of grey and brown, with touches of red on its body. The bird's long, black neck curves gracefully, and its head is turned slightly. The moon is rendered as a large, pale circle, providing a soft, diffused light that contrasts with the darker tones of the goose. The background is a gradient of blues and greys, suggesting a night sky. The composition is simple yet striking, capturing a sense of movement and serenity.

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.
