About ‘Ohara Koson, Frog and tadpoles’

Ohara Koson, Frog and tadpoles

Ohara Koson produced this woodblock print featuring frogs and tadpoles somewhere around the turn of the 20th century. The work is characteristic of the Shin-Hanga movement - translated as 'new prints' - a style that breathed new life into traditional Japanese art by weaving in influences from the West.

Yet this is more than a charming depiction of the natural world. The frog, an understated and humble creature, carries significant symbolic weight within Japanese culture. Long associated with good fortune and safe homecoming, the image would have resonated deeply with those separated from their homeland, particularly traveling merchants making their way through foreign lands.

Look closely at the lotus plants surrounding the frogs. A deeply rooted symbol in Buddhism, their inclusion here may not be coincidental. Against the backdrop of growing Japanese nationalism - a movement that championed a distinct and proud cultural identity - the lotus serves as a quiet but powerful emblem of heritage. It is a compelling reminder that what appears to be a simple nature print can, upon closer inspection, carry layers of cultural and historical meaning.
