About the Item

A wonderfully composed and beautifully colored print by famed Japanese artist Ohara Koson (Ohara Hōson, Ohara Shōson) titled "Egrets and Crescent Moon" (sometimes referred to as Two Cranes in Lake). 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"
