Common Cuckoo
1906 - 1907
This dynamic piece, attributed to Hashiguchi Goyō, features a galloping white horse with a red saddle set against a patterned brick wall and large golden calligraphy. Although the provided context suggests 1906-1907, the text at the bottom clearly marks the year as Meiji 33 (1900), indicating this is likely a cover design for a literary magazine like 'Myojo'. The bold, flat colors and stylized floral motifs capture the exciting shift toward modernism in Japanese graphic design at the turn of the century.
