Sinopse

Ohara Koson (also Ohara H?son, Ohara Sh?son) (Kanazawa 1877 - Tokyo 1945) was a Japanese painter and woodblock print designer of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, at the forefront of shinsaku-hanga and shin-hanga art movements.Ohara Koson studied painting and design at the Ishikawa Prefecture Technical School in 1889-1893. He also studied painting with Suzuki Kason (1860-1919), although accounts differ on whether this happened during his school years or after he moved to Tokyo in the middle to late 1890s.In 1904, Koson created prints depicting the Russo-Japanese War, see authors´ book Russo-Japanese War. This was a common practice among ukiyo-e artists during that time, as many of them produced illustration prints related to either the Sino-Japanese War (1894/95) or the Russo-Japanese War (1904/05), see authors´ books Sino-Japanese War and Russo-Japanese War.Despite the decline of ukiyo-e, Ohara Koson managed to maintain financial stability due to his position as a teacher at the Tokyo School of Fine Arts, where Koson encountered Ernest Fenellosa, an American advocate of traditional Japanese art.
