Japanese Plague Bird on Maple (1900 - 1936) by Ohara Koson is a striking and evocative woodblock print that depicts a Japanese plague bird perched on a branch of a maple tree. The bird is rendered in a realistic style, with detailed feathers and a piercing gaze. Its vibrant red plumage stands out against the muted tones of the maple leaves, and its sharp beak and talons convey its predatory nature. The overall composition of the artwork is harmonious and balanced, and the use of color and line is masterful. The print is currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
