Kohara Komura (a.k.a. Masao Ohara) was a Japanese painter and woodblock print designer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, part of the New Printmaking Movement. He mainly painted plants and animals and is widely regarded as a “Japanese painting” (nihonga) painter of the “nature print” (kachoga) genre. As we can see today, his delicate, colorful artwork is vividly represented by animals and plants. Most of his early prints were designed for foreign markets. All works are signed “Koson”. Between 1912 and 1926 he devoted himself to painting again. This time he returned to the woodcut medium with the name “Shoson”. Although his work is widely published and published, unfortunately very little is known about his life.
Side note: Check out the beautiful moon in the Japanese woodblock print that perfectly reflects a beautiful autumn night. <3
