Kingfisher with Lotus Flower 1900 - 1945

"Kingfisher with Lotus Flower" is a woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Ohara Koson, active between 1900 and 1945. Known for his exquisite depictions of birds and nature, Koson captures the delicate beauty of a kingfisher perched on a lotus stem, its vibrant blue plumage contrasting with the soft white of the flower. The composition is simple yet elegant, emphasizing the harmony between the bird and its natural surroundings. This artwork is a prime example of Koson's mastery of the *ukiyo-e* style, showcasing the artist's keen observation of nature and his ability to convey its tranquil essence.
