A serene winter scene inspired by the Japanese master Ohara Koson. This hand-carved and hand-printed design depicts an egret resting in alert stillness on a branch amid softly falling snow. The simplicity of black and white highlights the bird’s graceful form and the quiet beauty of the moment.

Each print is made using traditional Japanese woodblock techniques, carved into cherry wood and printed by hand. The fine detail of the carving and the subtle texture of the paper combine to give the piece a timeless, meditative quality.

Mounted in a soft cream board that complements the monochrome palette, this artwork brings a sense of calm and contemplation to any space.

What makes this one special?

  • The quiet elegance of the egret - captured in a simple palette of black and white.
  • The timeless appeal of Ohara Koson - one of Japan’s finest bird-and-flower printmakers.
  • A peaceful, contemplative artwork - that suits both modern and traditional interiors.
  • Hand-carved and printed - the subtle texture of the paper and the soft cream mount bring out the design’s crisp detail.
