Fish in Water, ca. 1885

Woodblock color print on paper

Depicting a single carp swimming amidst gently rippling water, this delicately composed Meiji-period print showcases Suian Hirafuku’s elegant brush-influenced line work and refined color sensibility. Rare in surviving examples, this print reflects the transitional aesthetic between Edo ukiyo-e and emerging Nihonga influences.
