A woodblock print by Ohara Koson, "Rooster and Hen" depicts two birds in a close composition, showcasing the artist's skill in capturing the textures and forms of his subjects.
Ohara Koson (1877-1945) was a Japanese artist associated with the Shin-hanga art movement. He is known for his prints of birds and flowers (kachō-e). Koson initially trained in painting, but later shifted to woodblock printing, a medium that allowed for wider distribution of his work. His prints were popular both in Japan and abroad, particularly in the United States. Koson's work often features close-up views of birds and animals, set against simple backgrounds. He captured the details of their plumage and form with precision. In "Rooster and Hen", Koson depicts the two birds in a close composition. The rooster stands behind the hen, its black tail feathers contrasting with its white body. The hen is smaller and nestled beneath the rooster. The background is a soft grey, which allows the white plumage of the birds to stand out. The print demonstrates Koson's skill in capturing the textures and forms of his subjects, while also creating a balanced and harmonious composition.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
