Koson – Large Knot Sandpipers | Japanese Woodblock Print

Ohara Koson captures the quiet alertness of knot sandpipers in this shin-hanga print, their speckled plumage dissolving into subtle gradations of grey and ochre. The birds’ elongated bills and poised stance suggest a momentary pause during tidal foraging, exemplifying Koson’s mastery of kacho-e naturalism.
