Cockatoo and Pomegranate (1877–1945)

Cockatoo and Pomegranate by Ohara Koson (1877–1945)
This elegant woodblock print by Ohara Koson, Cockatoo and Pomegranate, captures the beauty of nature through the artist’s mastery of composition, detail, and color. The artwork features a striking white cockatoo perched on a branch laden with ripe pomegranates. The bird’s soft, textured feathers are meticulously detailed, standing out brilliantly against the rich, dark black background. The pomegranates, with their vibrant red hues and intricate seed patterns, add a sense of balance and warmth to the composition, while the green leaves provide a harmonious contrast. The cockatoo’s poised yet curious expression and the partially opened pomegranate create a narrative of natural curiosity and abundance.

Printed on premium 175gsm fine-art paper, this high-quality giclée print of Ohara Koson’s Cockatoo and Pomegranate brings the exquisite detail and vivid colors of the original woodblock to life. The stark contrast of the white cockatoo against the deep black background and the vibrant red of the pomegranates is faithfully reproduced, preserving the elegance and harmony of Koson’s composition. The print includes a 2mm thick, natural white, window-cut cardboard frame (passpartout), providing a polished presentation that complements the artwork’s refined aesthetic.
