魚を狩るカワセミ
1900 - 1930
Talk about perfect timing! Ohara Koson, a master of bird-and-flower prints, freezes this kingfisher in the ultimate hunting pose—wings spread wide, beak pointed down, and legs tucked for a streamlined dive. Created during the early 20th century, this piece belongs to the Shin-hanga movement, which revitalized traditional Japanese woodblock printing by blending it with a touch of Western realism. The misty, atmospheric background gives the scene a dreamy quality, proving that you don’t need a high-speed camera to capture a perfect action shot.
