Icon Post: Ohara Shoson (Koson)

[crowdog66]

Below are 33 icons based on the prints of Ohara Shoson, also known as Koson (1878-1945). Koson was a Japanese printmaker, and as you'll see, his work is exquisite.

The originals that the icons were taken from can be found here and here.

Thank you, nightdog_barks, for introducing me to this amazing artist in the first place.

Please, no hotlinking. Credit the images to Koson, and also to me only if you wish to. Comments are love.

Oh, Laurie, these are beautiful! I'm definitely taking 2 or 3, and will credit both you and Koson.

Do you mind if I link to this post in my LJ so yet more folks might see these? They are really lovely work!

[crowdog66.livejournal.com]

Certainly you may! I'd be honored. :-)

I'm here via nightdog_barks's LJ, and I'm really glad I clicked the link. These are beautiful icons! I'm snagging several (specifically, nos. 5, 9, and 28) and will credit both you and Koson. (I'd snag more, but I'm maxed out on user pics at the moment!)
