A woodblock print by Ohara Koson, 'Sandpipers' depicts three birds standing amongst reeds, rendered in soft greys and whites against a pale blue background.
Ohara Koson (1877-1945) was a Japanese artist associated with the Shin-hanga movement, which revitalised traditional Ukiyo-e woodblock printing. Koson's work is characterised by his detailed observations of birds and flowers, rendered with a delicate naturalism. He initially trained in painting but later transitioned to woodblock print design, collaborating with publishers to produce prints for Western audiences. His prints were particularly popular in Europe and America during the early 20th century. In this print, titled 'Sandpipers', Koson depicts three sandpipers standing amongst reeds. The birds are rendered in soft greys and whites, with subtle variations in tone to suggest form and texture. The composition is simple, with the birds and reeds set against a pale blue background that evokes a sense of water and sky. The print demonstrates Koson's skill in capturing the delicate beauty of nature, reflecting the Japanese aesthetic of finding beauty in the natural world.

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.
