Description

A traditional Japanese woodblock print, executed on fibrous paper, depicting a large grey fish, likely a carp, in mid-leap above stylized water. The color palette is subdued, featuring muted blues and greys with faint reddish-brown accents on the fins. Visible markings on the recto include a red seal and black calligraphic characters in the lower left corner, appearing to be an artist’s signature or publisher’s mark. The verso displays additional inventory markings: “BX-279” in the lower left and “KBJ” in the lower right, both in black ink.
