A refined work by Ohara Koson depicting a bird perched on a branch above a web with a spider. The composition combines close observation of nature with symbolic atmosphere: the bird’s intense gaze directed at the spider captures the moment between stillness and action. The delicate play of tones on the silk and the subtle colouring are characteristic of Koson’s poetic depictions of nature within the shin-hanga tradition.
Ohara Koson (1877–1945) was a Japanese painter and printmaker who worked under several names, including Shōson and Hōson. He is best known for his bird-and-flower subjects (kacho-e) in the shin-hanga movement, where his technical precision and sensitivity to mood revitalised traditional Japanese nature representation. Koson’s works were widely exported to the West and are today represented in many international museums and collections, including in Tokyo, London, and New York.
