Lapwing on Tree Stump 

"Lapwing on Tree Stump" is a woodblock print by renowned Japanese artist Ohara Koson (1877-1945). The print showcases Koson's mastery of depicting birds in their natural environment, as a lapwing, a bird known for its distinctive cry, perches on a weathered tree stump. The detailed depiction of the bird's plumage and the delicate brushstrokes used to illustrate the willow branches emphasize Koson's talent for capturing the beauty of the natural world. This piece is a fine example of the *kacho-e* genre, which specializes in depicting birds and flowers.
