A white egret wades through shallow water, its body hunched forward and its long yellow beak pointed low, watching for fish. Two thin plumes trail back from its head. Faint reeds cross the gray background, and below the bird its legs and their reflection make a looping line in the still water. The bird is almost a single white shape, set off by the soft grays around it.

Ohara Koson (1877–1945) was a Japanese painter and printmaker of the shin-hanga movement, known for his woodblock prints of birds and flowers.

Lab-printed to order on luster photo paper in a long 1:2 format: 8×16, 10×20, 12×24 and 40×80 inches. The wide shape fits above a bed, a sofa or a console table, and the quiet palette suits a bedroom or a calm living room.
