A woodblock print by Ohara Koson, this artwork features a wild cucumber plant set against a full moon. The muted colours and simple composition create a tranquil and ethereal atmosphere.
Ohara Koson (1877-1945) was a Japanese artist renowned for his woodblock prints of birds and flowers (kachō-e). Active during the late Meiji and early Shōwa periods, Koson initially trained in painting before turning to printmaking. His work demonstrates a synthesis of traditional Japanese aesthetics and influences from the Western art world. He is recognised as one of the most important artists of the shin-hanga movement, which aimed to revitalise traditional ukiyo-e printmaking. Koson's prints were popular both in Japan and abroad. He often used different artist names, including Shōson and Hōson. His work is held in numerous collections, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. This print depicts a wild cucumber plant set against a full moon. The composition is simple, with the long, slender cucumber dominating the centre. Leaves and vines frame the cucumber, adding depth to the image. A small insect is perched on the cucumber. The colour palette is muted, with shades of grey, green, and cream creating a tranquil atmosphere. The moon provides a soft, diffused light, enhancing the scene's ethereal quality.

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.
