Description

Midori Ohashi (Ohashi Suiseki) April 1865 – August 31, 1945 was a Japanese painter active in Japan from the mid-Meiji period to the early Showa period.
His real name was Usaburo, and he studied under the great painters Amano Hoko and Watanabe Shoka in Kyoto. He began with paintings in the Nanga style (Japanese scholar painting) and later moved on to observational methods of painting/drawing from life.

While he enjoyed drawing animals, he is best known and appreciated for his works depicting tigers.

Opening new doors for Japanese art, his avant-garde aesthetic was widely celebrated. As a result, he was awarded a gold medal at both the 1900 Exposition Universelle (Paris World's Fair) and the 1910 Japan-British Exhibition.

Antique silk mount, modern wooden frame.
