Koson Ohara was born in Kanazawa in Ishikawa Prefecture in the North of Japan with the given name Ohara Matao. He had studied painting as a student of Suzuki Kason, whose name he adopted as his artist go. During his career he changed his name to Shoson and Hoson. So when you read Ohara Shoson or Ohara Hoson or the other way round as Shoson Ohara or Hoson Ohara, don’t be confused. It is the same artist.








































































































































Koson’s works are beautiful. I have his print “On the Wing”. His contemporary Lin Liang is to be admired as well. However…Koson passion for wildlife is felt in his bush to his subjects.
