Blossoming Cherry on a Moonlit Night

About the Artist

Ohara Koson was a Japanese artist of the shin-hanga (“new prints”) movement, known for his exquisite woodblock prints of birds, flowers, and landscapes. Active during the early 20th century, Koson bridged traditional ukiyo-e techniques with modern sensibilities, creating works admired both in Japan and internationally. His prints are celebrated for their elegance, refined detail, and poetic atmosphere.
