EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Egret with irises" by Koson, Ohara showcases the beauty of nature and the intricate artistry of Japanese prints. Created between 1925-36, this colour woodcut is a part of the shin-hanga movement, which aimed to revive traditional Japanese printmaking techniques. The image depicts a serene riverbank scene where an elegant egret gracefully stands amidst vibrant irises. The delicate lines and meticulous details in this artwork exemplify Koson's mastery in capturing the essence of both flora and fauna. The use of calligraphy adds another layer of depth to the composition, as it blends seamlessly with the natural elements. The carefully inscribed text enhances our connection to this tranquil setting, inviting us to immerse ourselves in its serenity. With no human presence in sight, this unpopulated landscape allows us to appreciate the untouched beauty of nature. The flowing river and lush surroundings create a sense of harmony that resonates throughout the piece. Koson's work transports us to early 20th-century Japan while showcasing his profound appreciation for wildlife and botanical wonders. This exquisite print serves as a testament to his artistic prowess and enduring legacy within Asian art history. Displayed at Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm and evocative imagery. It reminds us of our deep connection with nature and invites contemplation on its fragile yet resilient existence.
