Ohara Koson, master of the renewal of Japanese printmaking

Influenced by Japanese tradition and a renewed interest in nature depiction, he established a refined style focused on precise line work and delicate washes. His compositions, often dedicated to birds, flowers, and small animals, reflect attentive observation and a unique graphic sensitivity. Koson’s career helped popularize Japanese aesthetics internationally, and this Monkey on a Tree Branch art print perfectly illustrates his talent for combining documentary accuracy with visual poetry.
