Monkey in kaki tree 1900 - 1930

"Monkey in kaki tree" is a Japanese woodblock print by Ohara Koson, a renowned artist of the early 20th century. The print showcases Koson's mastery of the *ukiyo-e* style, depicting a monkey perched on a branch of a persimmon tree (kaki). The monkey's delicate features and the simplified yet expressive lines of the tree evoke a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature, characteristic of Koson's artistic approach. The print is a beautiful example of the artistic tradition of depicting animals in their natural habitat, a popular subject in Japanese art.
