Ohara Koson Signed Framed Japanese Asian Print Snipes and Reeds In a Stream

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"
