Crow Print: 4 of 15
A carrion model.
A crow perched upon a Sakura branch,
waiting, keenly, for movement
beyond the frame’s negative space.
He is the pride of the artist’s edition.
Maybe number 4 of 15 “Crow on a Cherry Branch” Ohara Koson.
He is the black-ink bird with proper registration.
Perfection carved in the wood of the printer’s block.
Feather-dark and complete,
his image untainted
by the overlay of branch and leaf,
background and shadow.
