'Pheasants'
This beautiful woodblock print depicts a pair of pheasants under a red maple tree, with one taking a drink of water. The colors and gradation are wonderful.  This postcard-sized print was produced in the early 1930s, a popular size with tourists.  This print bears Koson's 'Shoson' seals in red. The print measures 5" x 3.5", and the wood frame measures 8.5" x 6.5".   It is in very good condition, with great color and translucency. Koson is well-known for the exquisite details in his nature prints, said to have produced more than 450 bird woodblocks, and this one is exceptional.            P3051                          $235.00
