EDITORS COMMENTS
Two Veiltails" is a stunning color woodcut print by the renowned Japanese artist, Ohara Koson (1877-1945). This exquisite work of art, created during the Meiji era (1868-1912), showcases two graceful veiltail goldfish swimming in a serene pond. The artist's masterful use of color and intricate detailing brings the vibrant underwater world to life. Ohara Koson was a leading figure in the Ukiyo-e tradition, a genre of Japanese art that focused on the pleasures of the floating world. His works often featured natural subjects, such as birds, flowers, and animals, rendered with great sensitivity and beauty. In this print, the artist captures the elegance and grace of the veiltail goldfish, their flowing fins creating ripples in the water as they glide through the scene. The rich colors of the print are achieved through the meticulous process of carving and printing each individual block multiple times, layering the colors to create depth and texture. The result is a breathtaking image that transports the viewer to a tranquil and peaceful moment in the natural world. This print is a testament to the enduring beauty and artistry of Japanese woodblock printing, a tradition that continues to captivate and inspire artists and collectors around the world. The delicate balance of color, form, and composition in "Two Veiltails" is a reminder of the power of art to transport us to another place and time, and to bring joy and wonder to our lives. This particular print is part of a private collection and is not currently available for public viewing. However, it serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Japanese art and the enduring beauty of the natural world.
