About the Wall Art

Fine Art Prints

Wall Art Info

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

Wall Art Info

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

Wall Art Info

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

Wall Art Info

Forget 4 color CMYK. Giclée layers up to 12 — alive with deeper shadows, richer highlights and multidimensional contrasts. Pro-lab printing process helps art stay bold & breathtaking for up to 100 years. And the neo-pigment, water-based inks are 100% non-hazardous and toxin-free.

About the Artwork

Japan writes this bird's name, shijūkara, with the characters for forty sparrows. An old saying prices one tit at that many.

Ohara Koson's Great Tit on Paulownia Branch shows why. The little acrobat swings upside down on a cocoa-brown runner, blue-gray claws locked, tail flicked at the sky. Ultramarine wing feathers lie barred in sumi ink and edged in ivory. A black hood frames one pale cheek, and the beak points down at empty paper.

Overhead, autumn burns slowly. Vermilion leaves crowd the top of the tall ōban sheet and thin to apricot where the printer wiped the color away. Indigo berries cluster among them. Poets call this fall color tsuta momiji, the scarlet ivy that overruns the mountain pass in The Tales of Ise.

Koson designed the scene between 1925 and 1936 for publisher Watanabe, whose shin-hanga, or new prints, shipped from Tokyo to collectors in America. Half the washi stays bare, pale as oat milk.

Give this Japanese bird art print a quiet wall. In kachō-e, the bird-and-flower tradition, autumn lasts one afternoon, and this one refuses to end.

Origin Story

Ohara Koson, born in 1877 in Kanazawa, was a Japanese woodblock artist whose prints capture the fleeting beauty of nature. He revitalized traditional ukiyo-e through the shin-hanga movement, transforming each kachō-e piece into an exquisite meditation on nature’s poetry. Cranes in mid-flight, cherry blossoms poised to fall—Koson’s art captures ephemeral elegance with soft pigments and negative space, evoking a quiet resonance.

Koson's portfolio chronicles Japan’s shifting identity during the Meiji, Taishō, and Shōwa periods. His work, forgotten after his death in 1945, has since risen, symbolizing the timeless harmony between tradition and innovation.
