Chrysanthemums and Stream - Ohara Koson Art Print

Fine Art Prints

Forget cheap reproductions and printable posters. Only the best will do.

Velvety matte fine art paper (warm white, archival-grade, 200gsm) with bold, vibrant, non-toxic pigment inks. High-definition print lab techniques give you sharper details, deeper saturation and true-to-life tones. While the matte surface keeps glare down and archival-grade materials mean the colors you fall for stay vivid for decades.

Framed Fine Art Prints

Your print arrives framed and ready to hang, so it goes straight from the box to your wall.

Chevron cut wooden frames make a timeless statement in three distinctive colors: black, white and natural. Each frame is made of sustainably sourced FSC® certified knotless pine. And your artwork is protected behind ultra-clear perspex glaze that’s lighter than glass and shatter-resistant.

Float Framed Canvas Prints

Luscious artist-grade cotton canvas, hand-stretched and finely textured, gives every detail depth and precision, catching light and color with striking clarity. While a precisely measured floating frame leaves a slim gap around the canvas, so it seems to hover with a sleek, gallery-worthy effect. Finished with your choice of frame color — black, white or natural — made from sustainably sourced FSC® certified knotless pine.

Giclée Printing

In Chrysanthemums and Stream, Ohara Koson floods his paper with lampblack and lets autumn fall into it. Midnight, and the flowers are leaning over to drink. Ivory chrysanthemums tumble down the left edge. Carmine blooms crowd the upper corners, their ochre-dusted hearts ringed in pale blue. Every leaf is printed Prussian blue, cold as the water waiting below.

That water has a name. Kikusui, the chrysanthemum stream, runs through an old tale where dew slid off these leaves and turned a brook into medicine. An exiled boy drank and stayed young for seven hundred years. Noh actors still play him. On the ninth day of the ninth month, the Chrysanthemum Festival, drinkers floated petals in sake and swallowed the same wish.

Koson cut that longevity legend into a Taisho-era Japanese woodblock print. White eddies comb the current. His Shoson signature hovers at the bank beside a vermilion seal.

Hang this shin-hanga art print where evening gathers. One bud has not opened yet, and the stream keeps the cup full.
