Ohara Koson
Ohara Koson was a prolific printmaker of the 20th century widely known for his kacho-ga, bird and flower prints. During his study with Kason, he took his artist name Koson, a partial adaptation of his teacher's name. Early in his career, many of Koson’s prints were muted in color and captured a sense of calmness and elegance. Koson’s depiction of birds are very realistic, the details of body and feathers in particular were always depicted with meticulous care.

Junichiro Sekino Signed Japanese Woodblock Print Boy and His Dog
By Junichiro Sekino
Located in Studio City, CA
A relatively large, very appealing and enduring image of youth and friendship exemplified by a boy and his dog by master Japanese artist or printer Junichiro Sekino. The print is stamped with the artist's seal and signed in pencil by the artist and may also be numbered and dated as well, as most of his works are, but if so, it is hidden under the mat.
Junichiro Sekino was largely considered, along with Kiyoshi Saito, to be one of Japan's paramount 20th-century master print artists. Both were prominent leaders of the Sosaku Hanga movement. Sekino's works can be found in many museums including:
The Museum of Modern Art, N. Y., the Art Institute Chicago...
