Little is known about the artist Ohara Koson (1877-
1945), whose career bridged the era between the
decline of the full-color woodblock print (nishiki-e) in
the late 19th century/early 20th century and the
emergence of the Shin-hanga ("new print") movement
in the 1910s. An artist principally marketed abroad,
Koson’s bird-and-flower prints met with great success
in the United States and Europe. He has only recently
received attention in his native Japan following the
discovery of important reference material including
original sketches and paintings for his prints.
"Crows, Cranes and Camellias: the natural world of
Ohara Koson 1877-1945" is the first publication in a
Western language to discuss his corpus of work, and it
has drawn upon the private Jan Perrée Collection for
inspiration. Including an overview of Koson’s life and
artistic career, augmented by a checklist of the majority
of his work, select seals and signatures, this book is an
invaluable source for Koson collectors.
"Crows, Cranes & Camellias" accompanied an
exhibition of Koson's work held at the Rijksmuseum
Amsterdam in 2001.
The work of print artist Ohara Koson (1877-1945) mainly
consists of prints of birds and flowers, characterised
by their peaceful charm. This book about Koson is the
first Western publication of his oeuvre of prints and
paintings. It provides all known information on the
artist's life and work, his teachers and publishers,
facsimiles of his signatures and seals and illustrations
of an estimated seventy-five percent of his total print
output. This title is the definitive reference book for
Koson collectors.
This new edition ( 2009) of Crows, cranes &
camellias features an additional chapter on
Koson's oeuvre and designs which have been
discovered since the original publication 2001 of
Crows, Cranes and Camellias.... This title is the
definitive reference book for Koson collectors.
