EDITORS COMMENTS
Rooster and Hen" is a captivating color woodcut print created by the renowned Japanese artist, Ohara Koson (1877-1945). This exquisite work of art dates back to the Meiji Era, approximately between 1920 and 1930, and is now part of a private collection. Ohara Koson, a master of the ukiyo-e tradition, skillfully captures the essence of rural life in Japan through this charming depiction of a rooster and hen. The print showcases the artist's exceptional ability to bring the natural world to life, with the rooster's vibrant plumage and the hen's sleek feathers rendered in stunning detail. The landscape setting further enhances the beauty of the scene, with the sun setting behind the rolling hills, casting a warm, golden glow over the peaceful countryside. The intricate woodgrain texture of the print adds depth and dimension, making each feather, blade of grass, and crease in the rooster's wattle stand out in vivid relief. This print is a testament to Ohara Koson's mastery of the color woodcut technique, which involves carving intricate designs into blocks of wood and then inking and printing them onto paper. The result is a rich, textured image that captures the essence of the natural world with breathtaking detail and vibrancy. As a work of fine art, "Rooster and Hen" is a must-have for any collection focusing on Asian art, graphic arts, or landscapes with animals and birds. Its timeless beauty and intricate detail make it a true treasure for art enthusiasts and collectors alike.
