Item Overview

Description

Ohara Shoson (Japanese, 1877 - 1944), Geese flying over snow-covered reeds, woodblock print on paper, signed within the plate, measures 15.25 x 10.25 inches to the sheet edge. CONDITION: Good, unmounted. Shoson was known primarily for his kacho-e (bird and flower subjects). Early in his life, he studied painting at the Shijo School under the artist Susuki Kason. When Watanabe reopened after the devastating 1923 earthquake, he recruited Japan’s premiere shin-hanga artists to help rebuild the woodblock print business, including Ohara Shoson. Watanabe began publishing Shoson’s prints in 1926. Shoson’s work became quite popular with the Western market, especially in the United States. During his lifetime, Shoson used several different "go" or artist names, including Shoson, Koson, and Hoson. His lovely shin-hanga kacho-e are widely regarded as the best of the genre.
