Lilies 1900 - 1930

"Lilies" is a woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Ohara Koson sometime between 1900 and 1930. Koson, known for his exquisite depictions of birds and flowers, captures the delicate beauty of lilies in this work. The white blossoms, rendered with precise detail, stand out against the soft blue-green background, while the lush green leaves add depth and texture. The artist's masterful use of color and composition creates a sense of tranquility and elegance, highlighting the timeless beauty of nature. This print showcases the enduring legacy of *shin-hanga* (new prints), a movement that revitalized Japanese woodblock printing in the early 20th century.
