Ohara Shōson specialized in Japanese woodblock prints, particularly kachō-e (bird-and-flower pictures). The four prints included in this set of keepsake boxed notecards show how meticulously he rendered both animals and nature, adding embossed detail in lieu of inking a design when necessary. Contains 4 each of the following images:
- Kingfisher and Iris (Hanashōbu ni hisui), 1926
- Camellia and Rice Birds (Tsubaki ni shirobunchō), 1929
- Skylark and Peach Blossoms (Toka ni Hibari), published 1931
- Plum Blossoms and Bullfinch (Baiha ni Uguisu), published 1931
