Flock of Birds and a Torii Gate in a Pine Tree Forest - Ohara Koson Art Print
Couldn't load pickup availability
Mist eats the forest from the back row forward in Ohara Koson's Flock of Birds and a Torii Gate in a Pine Tree Forest. Distant pine spires fade to pewter, then to nothing. Only the nearest tree keeps its color, a bottle green bristling with needle tufts that brush the umber torii gate at lower right.
Its upswept lintel peeks around the branches like a shrine keeper at a doorframe, its brown pillar sinking off the bottom of the page. A faint indigo bloom stains the needles beside it.
Above, a flock of birds scatters across silver-gray sky in loose commas of sumi ink. Three crows drop lower and closer with wings spread flat. Shinto lore makes the crow Yatagarasu a guide sent by the gods, and Koson's messengers seem to be scouting a route of their own.
Trained in Meiji-era kachō-e before shin-hanga made him famous, Koson learned to let emptiness carry weather. Here the weather waits. One crow banks toward the gate and the whole forest holds still to watch.
