Cockatoo and Pomegranate - 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

Ohara Koson's Cockatoo and Pomegranate catches a chalk-white cockatoo mid-squawk, slate-blue beak open on a shell-pink tongue. One claw grips the ash-gray branch. The other lifts to its chest, a small fist of scales held against scalloped feathers. Behind it, lamp-black ink swallows every hint of garden and hour.

Kanazawa-born Koson trained under Suzuki Kason in the Nihonga manner before turning to kachō-e, the old Japanese bird-and-flower genre. He knew what he was pairing. In Buddhist temples Kishimojin holds a pomegranate for its countless seeds, a promise of children and luck. Cockatoos reached Japan as cargo on Dutch ships at Nagasaki, and Itō Jakuchū painted these prized imports in eighteenth-century Kyoto. So a ship-borne bird ignores a sacred fruit against a jet-ink sky, early Shōwa wit served cold.

At lower left a split pomegranate shows its crimson rind and wet rows of seed. The cockatoo looks the other way. Above the vermilion seal a single coral bud waits on its twig, one held note in a loud room. Hang this vintage Japanese woodblock art print where guests gather, and let the uneaten seeds keep everyone guessing who gets fed.
