月亮出来亮汪汪，双兔相伴在山岗，爱侣还是密友？前兔侧身，抬起一爪，举头望月，应该是在极目遥看月宫中的老前辈玉兔；后兔匍匐，目视前方，两耳旋转，鼻头翕动，神情机警，似乎只想依偎在前兔身旁。背景上，悠然绽放的萩花在风中摇曳，与兔儿红彤彤的大眼睛相映成趣。而它们比满月光更皎洁的一身皮毛，则是由空摺而成，观之触之，立体感十足。身为花鸟画名家，古邨是温暖而细腻的，在他的作品中，蕴含着满满的人情味。很快又是中秋节，希望你我都会像这两只白兔一样，有爱人相伴，赏花好月圆。

Koson Ohara (1877-1945)
Koson Ohara was famous as a master of kacho-e (bird-and-flower) designs. Throughout a prolific career, in which he created around 500 prints, he went by three different titles: Ohara Hoson, Ohara Shoson and Ohara Koson.
At first, he worked with publishers Akiyama Buemon (Kokkeido) and Matsuki Heikichi (Daikokuya), signing his work Koson. Starting around 1926, he became associated with the publisher Watanabe Shozaburo, and signed his work Shoson. He also worked with the publisher Kawaguchi, signing his works Hoson.
Through his association with Watanabe, Ohara's work was exhibited abroad, and his prints sold well, particularly in the United States.
