Subject:Help w/ID Ohara Koson Tiger Woodblock Print
Posted By: Jim Tue, Dec 10, 2024 IP: 73.41.88.226

hi everyone. i'm hoping someone out there can help me with authenticating this print that i have which is attributed to Ohara Koson on the internet. i see where there are many reproductions of this piece. the print i have is matted and framed. the visible artwork measures 9.5"x9" or 24.2cmx22.9cm. i'm wondering if this is the size of the original woodblock print from 1930? i've provided a scan of the print that was taken through the glass as well as some close ups. it is a beautiful piece. any help will be greatly appreciated...thanks

thank you for your help. I guess there's no way around removing this from the frame(it's very nicely framed). based on those measurements and the apparent margins on other examples of his work, i would have to conclude this is likely authentic. the other thing i'm wondering is, if this is considered one of Koson's more desirable prints? there's a wide range of prices for his prints.
