The description below:
It is almost unknown that Ohara Koson (1877-1945) thrived in the transitional period between the decline of full-color woodblock prints (Nishiki-e) in the late 19th century and the rise of the Shinhanga movement in the 1910s. He was an artist who mainly promoted his work overseas, and his bird and flower prints achieved great success in America and Europe. Important materials including sketches and original paintings for prints were discovered in Japan, and only recently has he begun to receive attention.

Crows, Cranes and Camellias: the Natural World of Ohara Koson 1877-1945 is the first English-language publication to discuss his body of work, inspired by the personal collection of Jan Perde (now housed in the National Museum of Amsterdam). This new edition, published in 2001, includes additional chapters on Koson's works and designs discovered after the publication of Crows, Cranes, and Camellias. Providing an overview of Koson's life and career as an artist, along with a checklist of most of his works and selected stamps and signatures, this book is a valuable resource for Koson collectors.
