Ohara Koson – Cockatoo and Pomegranate

Original woodblock print. The first edition of this design was published circa 1930. The current print was printed in the Showa period (1926 – 1989).

Image size (excluding margins): 24.5 * 16.8 cm (9.6 * 6.6 in).

The print is in fair state, but does retain its decorative value. The paper has aged and there are a number of spots in the margins. There are also a few very mild foxing spots inside the image, in the Cockatoo, but hard to see. The biggest defect are three horizontal folding lines, at the top, bottom and in the middle, but, perhaps due to them crossing black and white areas, they are less visible then such folding lines usually are.

The pictures shown here are from the print itself.
