{"product_id":"cockatoo-and-pomegranate-ii-by-ohara-koson-1925","title":"Cockatoo and Pomegranate II by Ohara Koson, 1925","description":"\u003cp\u003eCockatoo and pomegranate II by Ohara Koson (1925) is a luminous example of shin-hanga—Japan’s early 20th‑century revival of ukiyo‑e woodblock printing that married time‑honored technique with fresh, atmospheric naturalism. A pale cockatoo with a buttery, feathered crest is poised beside a ripe pomegranate, the quiet exchange between bird and fruit distilled into a balanced, elegant vignette. Koson, celebrated for his kachō‑e (bird‑and‑flower pictures), shapes the scene with poised restraint: delicate linework, layered color, and a serene field of space that lets texture, pattern, and silhouette speak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for a museum‑quality fine art print produced by The Unique Maps Co., available on acid‑free archival paper or artist’s cotton canvas with richly pigmented, fade‑resistant inks. Choose from a range of sizes, with optional framing and matting to fit your space. We also offer personalization—custom titleplates, inscriptions, and margin notes—as well as bespoke sizing to harmonize with existing decor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the artist: Ohara Koson (1877–1945) stands among the foremost shin‑hanga print designers, renowned for exquisitely observed birds rendered with lyrical simplicity. Working within the lineage of ukiyo‑e while embracing modern tastes, he collaborated with leading Tokyo publishers to create prints that found admirers in Japan and abroad. His kachō‑e balance naturalistic detail with decorative clarity, inviting contemplative looking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the subject: Pairing a cockatoo—an intelligent, highly social parrot—with a pomegranate, a traditional emblem of abundance and fecundity, Koson creates a quietly symbolic duet. The close, vertical framing reflects the 1920s fascination with elegant, near‑life studies of nature, while the exotic cockatoo signals a cosmopolitan curiosity about the wider natural world. The result is a picture that feels both intimate and refined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColor, style, and design: The print’s dominant notes of yellow—most visibly in the cockatoo’s crest and warm feather tonality—are anchored by soft greens in the foliage and inky black in the branch and keylines, with the pomegranate’s deep red providing a vivid counterpoint. Fine, deliberate strokes articulate the plumage, while bolder outlines give the fruit and perch sculptural presence. Subtle gradations and layered blocks lend a gentle glow, and the ample negative space heightens the composition’s calm. For collectors who appreciate botanical and avian subjects, the likely sulphur‑crested cockatoo (Cacatua galerita) set against the pomegranate (Punica granatum) offers both scientific interest and timeless decorative charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis elegant print makes a thoughtful gift for bird and garden lovers, admirers of Japanese art, and design enthusiasts alike—perfect for Christmas, Mother’s or Father’s Day, a housewarming, or to delight someone recently returned from Japan or the Asia‑Pacific. Its quiet sophistication suits serene bedrooms, reading nooks, and living rooms, adding a touch of golden light and contemplative beauty to any interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you're not sure what size to order, or you're looking for a custom order of some kind \u003cspan\u003e–\u003c\/span\u003e a different size, a different colour, a special frame \u003cspan\u003e–\u003c\/span\u003e then please \u003ca href=\"\/it\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003econtact me\u003c\/a\u003e.
