He specialized in kacho-e, the traditional art of depicting birds and flowers, breathing new life into the genre. While many are familiar with the ukiyo-e style, Koson was a leading artist of the shin-hanga (“new prints”) movement, which blended traditional Japanese techniques with Western influences like realism and perspective. This fusion resulted in prints of incredible depth and emotional resonance. Discerning collectors often wonder how to identify Ohara Koson prints; the key lies in observing the delicate lines, sophisticated color palettes, and the distinctive Ohara Koson signature and seals, which varied throughout his career.
