EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating color woodcut print by the renowned Japanese artist, Ohara Koson (1877-1945). This exquisite work of art, a testament to the beauty and intricacy of Ukiyo-e, the traditional Japanese genre of painting and printmaking, showcases the enchanting world of animals and birds in the Far East. The image presents a long-eared owl perched gracefully on a bare tree branch, its piercing yellow eyes fixed intently on the viewer. The owl's long ears, a unique feature that distinguishes it from other owl species, are delicately rendered, adding to the overall charm and realism of the print. The intricate details of the owl's feathers, the texture of the tree bark, and the subtle shading create a stunning visual contrast against the stark, minimalist background. This masterpiece, a product of the Meiji Era (1868-1912), embodies the artistic sensibilities of the time, which emphasized a deep connection with nature and a reverence for its wonders. The print is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Japan and the profound influence of its natural beauty on its artists. Ohara Koson, a leading figure in the world of Japanese graphic arts, was known for his exquisite woodcut prints of birds and flowers. This particular piece, "Long-eared Owl on Bare Tree Branch," is a prime example of his exceptional skill and dedication to capturing the essence of his subjects. The private collection that houses this work is fortunate to possess such a rare and beautiful piece of Asian art, a true treasure that continues to inspire and captivate viewers with its timeless beauty.
