Description: White cockatoo on a pomegranate branch Original woodblock print. First printing 1927, this edition 1949 - 1989. Signature: Shôson. Seal: Shôson. Press: Watanabe Shyozaburô. The fascinating effect of this print lies in the classical combination of three colors: the black background, the white plumage and the blood-red pomegranate. At first glance, one does not even notice the other colors in play in this exquisite print with blind-embossed structure. The fascinating certainty of the brush strokes and the appeal of the coloristic atmosphere underscore the decorative splendor of this page designed for Watanabe in the 30's.
