Works by Ohara Koson (小原古邨, 1877-1945), who also signed Shōson (祥邨) and Hōson (豊邨), in the public domain in France since 1 January 2016: his woodblock prints of birds and flowers, and a few paintings on silk, published online by the museums that hold them, each linked to its museum record. The photographs are those of the museums, which place them in the public domain. A print exists in several impressions, sometimes with a different background; for each design, the site shows a single impression, the best photographed among those the museums publish. The titles are those of the museums, in Dutch or in English, with their translation.
