Koson – Magpie on Tree Branch | Japanese Woodblock Print

Ohara Koson captures the alert stillness of a magpie mid-perch, its iridescent plumage rendered with precise bokashi gradation. The composition exemplifies kacho-e tradition, balancing negative space with the bird’s downward gaze and the angular branch geometry.
