A kingfisher with a teal-green back, orange breast, and a long coral-pink bill perches on a snow-capped stump, its dark eye stripe and white throat visible. Above it, snow-laden reed stalks and seed-heads arch across a warm tan background. Below, a branch strung with small red berries emerges from the snow against a pale blue gradient suggesting water. The signature ‚Shōson‘ is brushed at the lower right beside a red seal.
Ohara Koson (1877–1945) was the leading bird-and-flower (kachō-ga) artist of the shin-hanga movement. Trained in Kanazawa and Tokyo in the Shijō painting tradition, he designed prints from around 1900, first for export publishers and from 1926 for Watanabe Shōzaburō under the name Shōson. Herons in snow, crows on a branch, goldfish and sparrows are drawn with a naturalist’s precision and printed with soft gradations and embossed feathers. His prints are held by the Rijksmuseum, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
