Long Eared Owl on Bare Tree Branch | Ohara Koson | 1915 Frame Style:Black Frame suggesting follyIn this refined woodblock print, Ohara Koson depicts a long eared owl perched silently on a bare branch beneath a crescent moon. Rendered with delicate precision and subtle tonal gradations, the owls alert gaze and softly patterned plumage contrast with the spare, nocturnal landscape. The composition exemplifies Kosons mastery of kacho ga (bird and flower imagery), evoking stillness, solitude, and the quiet poetry of nature at night. Frame: Created
