Composition of Two Carp
This vertical Japanese woodblock depicts two carp swimming diagonally across open water. One fish features red and pink scales while the darker grey fish glides just behind it. Soft blue washes suggest water movement against a cream background with a red artist seal below.
Historical Context of this Early Twentieth-Century Work
Created between 1900 and 1930, this scene exemplifies the shin-hanga revival of traditional Japanese printmaking. The composition focuses on kacho-e nature themes using minimal forms and subtle color gradations. This impression belongs to the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
