Ohara Koson (1877–1945) was a prominent Japanese artist known for his exquisite woodblock prints, particularly those depicting birds and flowers, a genre known as kachō-ga. One of his notable works is "Cicada On Willow," which exemplifies his mastery in capturing the delicate beauty of nature through the traditional Japanese woodblock printing technique.

"Cicada On Willow" portrays a cicada perched on a slender willow branch, a scene that is both serene and evocative. The composition is marked by its simplicity and elegance, with the cicada rendered in meticulous detail, highlighting Koson's keen observation skills and his ability to convey the intricate textures of the insect's body and wings. The willow branch, with its gracefully arching leaves, provides a harmonious backdrop that enhances the overall tranquility of the image.

Koson's work is often celebrated for its subtle use of color and the fine gradations that bring a sense of depth and realism to his prints. In "Cicada On Willow," the muted tones and delicate shading create a soft, atmospheric effect, drawing the viewer into the quiet, contemplative world of the natural scene. This print, like many of Koson's works, reflects the influence of the ukiyo-e tradition, yet it also demonstrates his unique artistic voice and his ability to infuse traditional subjects with a fresh, modern sensibility.

The cicada, a symbol of summer and a common motif in Japanese art, is depicted with a sense of life and vitality that is characteristic of Koson's approach. His attention to detail and his skillful use of the woodblock medium allow him to capture the ephemeral beauty of the natural world, making "Cicada On Willow" a timeless piece that continues to resonate with audiences today.

Koson's prints, including "Cicada On Willow," have gained international acclaim and are highly sought after by collectors. His work represents a significant contribution to the shin-hanga movement, which sought to revive and modernize traditional Japanese woodblock printing in the early 20th century. Through his art, Koson has left an enduring legacy that continues to inspire and captivate admirers of Japanese woodblock prints.
