About the Item

A wonderfully composed and beautifully colored print by famed Japanese artist Ohara Koson (Ohara Hōson, Ohara Shōson) titled "Snipes and Reeds" (sometimes referred to as Two Snipes or Two Bar-tailed Godwits). Ohara Shōson (1877-1945) was a painter and woodblock artist. He was one of the the most celebrated artists of his time and at the forefront of both the shinsaku-hanga and shin-hanga (new print) art movements. He had trained in Nihonga Japanese-style painting, specializing in the naturalistic modes of the Maruyama-Shijō school. He was quite a prolific artist and is believed to have designed some 500 images. He was famous as a master of kachō-e (bird-and-flower) compositions. The print is signed in black and sealed in red in the lower corner. We believe this print is another printing technique, perhaps a later lithograph version of the original 1926 woodblock print as it is a larger print. Would be a great addition to any Japanese print or art collection or make for an eye catching stand alone accent artwork in about any setting. Frame dimensions: 28.25" high, 21.25" wide, 1.5" deep Viewable art approximately: 21" x 13.75"

Mizuno Toshikata Japanese Woodblock Print First Call of the Warbler, 36 Beauties
Located in Studio City, CA
An absolutely gorgeous and relatively rare original woodblock print by Japanese artist/printmaker Mizuno Toshikata titled "First Call of the Warbler" from his series Thirty-Six Selected Beauties (“Sanju Rokka Sen”) which he created to illustrate the daily activities of various Japanese women from different time periods and walks of life. This work features a geisha practicing the shamisen under the bright light of a full moon as the night's first warbler songbird joins her on a cherry tree branch just outside her window. It is a quite beautiful and serene scene and one of Toshikata most coveted images. This work was created circa 1892 during the Mejia period (1868-1912). It is signed and sealed by the artist with the image. Mizuno Toshikata was born on March 6, 1866 as Mizuno Kumejiro in Tokyo.
