Grasses at full moon 1900 - 1936

"Grasses at Full Moon" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Ohara Koson, created between 1900 and 1936. The print depicts a serene landscape with a full moon rising over a rocky outcrop. The composition is dominated by the graceful curves of the grasses, rendered with delicate strokes, and the vibrant colors of the flowers, which bloom against the backdrop of the moonlit sky. Koson's mastery of *ukiyo-e* style, a genre popular in 19th century Japan, is evident in the exquisite details of the print. It is a timeless portrayal of the beauty and tranquility of nature, reflecting the aesthetic sensibilities of *wabi-sabi*, a Japanese philosophy valuing the ephemeral and imperfect.
