Excelling in depicting fish and other aquatic creatures, he became known as \"the fish painter.\" Ohno's masterpiece, the woodblock print collection \"Dai-Nippon Gyorui Gashu\" (published 1937-1944, 72 pieces), brought him widespread recognition.

A characteristic feature is his ability to depict the fish's habitat by including detailed backgrounds. Furthermore, by employing the extremely labor-intensive technique of \"original color woodblock prints with 200 hand-rubbings,\" he achieved rich colors and intricate expressions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-sourcepos=\"9:1-9:107\"\u003eFollowing the Great Kanto Earthquake (1923), he relocated to the Kansai region, basing his activities in Hyogo Prefecture.
