Eagle Flying in Snow - 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

Snow falls sideways across this 1933 sheet, and one raptor leans into it. Ohara Koson, born in Kanazawa and trained by Suzuki Kason, drew the plunge for Watanabe's print shop in Tokyo. That shop burned in the Great Kantō earthquake of 1923. Ten winters later it was shipping shin-hanga bird prints across the Pacific.

Eagle Flying in Snow hangs on a single tilt. Umber wings rise in a steep V over a russet crown, and an ochre bill hovers above the trees, a fishhook on an invisible line. Hiroshige sent an eagle over snowbound Fukagawa in One Hundred Famous Views of Edo. Koson answers that ukiyo-e ancestor with a harder wind.

Read the feathers closely. Sepia-black primaries splay at the upper left, each quill cut as its own blade by a master block carver. Chestnut neck feathers bristle above one unblinking eye. Chalk bars flash along the wing's edge where the bird banks.

Slate-gray streaks rake the paper. Frosted pines crouch in Prussian-blue shadow opposite the Shōson signature and its cinnabar seal. In January 1936 this early Shōwa woodblock hung in the Toledo Museum of Art's show of modern Japanese prints. Give this vintage Japanese art print a hallway. The eagle has been falling for over ninety years and still has not touched the trees.
