Dragonfly and lotus 1900 - 1930

"Dragonfly and Lotus" is a woodblock print by renowned Japanese artist Ohara Koson, created between 1900 and 1930. Koson, known for his exquisite depictions of birds and flowers, captures the delicate beauty of a dragonfly perched on a lotus leaf. The print showcases his mastery of color and detail, particularly evident in the dragonfly's translucent wings and the subtle variations in the lotus leaves. This work exemplifies the "Shin Hanga" movement, a revival of traditional Japanese woodblock printing that flourished in the early 20th century.
