Ohara Koson: Two Geese (c. 1900s) Shin-hanga Woodblock Print

Capture a moment of quiet, natural charm. This museum-quality Giclée reproduction features Ohara Koson’s 1900s woodblock print, a refined celebration of the spirit and grace of the natural world.

In the early 1900s, Ohara Koson led a revival of traditional Japanese aesthetics through the Shin-hanga movement. This Two Geese print showcases his legendary technical skill. By using delicate lines and subtle Bokashi gradients, Koson gives the birds a tangible, lifelike presence that goes beyond simple illustration. The composition is a masterclass in Kacho-ga, where every detail—from the texture of the orange 'knobs' on their beaks to the layering of their wing feathers—is observed with deep reverence. Set against a minimalist background, the geese become symbols of fidelity and peaceful coexistence, a hallmark of the serene Meiji and Taisho-era sensibilities.

Koson's prints are world-renowned for their soft, painterly quality. Our archival Giclée print is digitally mastered to preserve the subtle 'gofun' (white pigment) effects and the rich, textured linework of the 1900s original. Printed on premium matte art paper, it ensures the delicate neutral tones and vibrant orange accents of Koson’s vision remain a sophisticated focal point in your home.

A perfect Statement Piece for a minimalist entryway, a peaceful bedroom, or a gallery wall dedicated to Asian masters. This Koson Print is an exceptional gift for bird watchers, art historians, and lovers of Zen-inspired design.
