Description
Snow on Willow Bridge by Ohara Koson is regarded as his best landscape print, and is one of the most famous Shin-hanga prints. Two women walk through snow over the Willow Bridge, with Ryogoku bridge in the background.
Condition notes
The print is in very good condition. There is very mild mat burn around the edge of the margins, and on the back remnants of a previous mounting remain. Unlike with many impressions of this design, the colors have been retained very well.
