Ohara Koson : "Water Lily" (1920-1930) — Giclee Fine Art Print

Active from the early 1900s to mid 1950s, Ohara Koson was a member of the shin-hanga, or "new prints" movement, which infused techniques of Western realism into traditional ukiyo-e subjects. He was prolific in the kachoga, or "bird and flower" genre, his style characterized by delicate, painterly effects, reminiscent of watercolor. Having been marketed principally to Westerners, his works are now undergoing a period of rediscovery in Japan. .
