The Trumpet Shop started off life as a vintage themed pop up shop in Edinburgh (Scotland) in 2017. Since then it has evolved into an exclusively online shop for vintage art prints that ships worldwide.
Bring the serene beauty of nature into your home with this exquisite art print of "Songbird and Lotus" by renowned Japanese artist Ohara Koson. Created in the early 1900s, this captivating image showcases Koson's mastery of kacho-ga (bird-and-flower painting). The delicate details of the songbird perched gracefully on a lotus flower, combined with the soft colors and subtle shading, create a sense of tranquility and harmony. This print is a perfect addition to any space seeking a touch of Japanese artistic elegance.
Did you know?Ukiyo-e, the genre of Japanese woodblock prints that heavily influenced artists like Koson, literally translates to "pictures of the floating world."This term refers to the fleeting pleasures and changing fashions of urban life in Edo-period Japan (1603-1868), which were often the subjects of these vibrant and dynamic prints.While Koson's work often depicted nature, it still carries the influence of this artistic tradition.
