Parade Antiques and Collectables. Ohara Koson Japanese Woodblock Print Jay Yellow Sky. A rare Japanese woodblock print of a jay by Ohara Koson, dating from the early 20th century. The print depicts a Japanese Jay, swooping beneath a branch of ivy leaves. Halfway down, on the right side of the print, the signature and seal of Ohara Koson can be seen. He was of the Shin-Hanga or’New Prints’ movement, which revived the Japanese traditions of collaboration between, artist, carver, printer and publisher. It came about as an alternative to the’creative prints’ movement, which held that the artist should carve, print and publish their own works. He later became affiliated to the eminent publisher Watanabe Shozaburo, helping to sell his works across the world, particularly in North America. The print is in reasonable condition for its age, though there are small tears to the paper in the bottom and top, left-hand corners. Size of Frame: 42 x 26 x 1.2cm (16½ x 10¼ x ½”) Size of Print: 32.5 x 16.5cm (13 x 6½”) Weight: 815g. Have a look at our other items.
