Koson: Songbird at Hay Bundle | Japanese Woodblock Print

This intimate shin-hanga woodblock print captures a small songbird resting atop a bound sheaf of rice straw, rendered with Koson’s signature economy of line. The composition draws from ukiyo-e kacho-ga tradition while embracing early 20th-century naturalism, emphasizing the bird’s alert posture against negative space.
