Beautiful Color Twin Carp
This piece dates from 1950-1980.

This piece captures the delicate color variations of carp scales.
Each scale is meticulously hand-carved and then hand-painted.
This incredibly realistic texture is only possible through this time-consuming process.

In Japan, two carp have long been considered auspicious.

They are considered a married couple, and their image of them walking together towards a waterfall symbolizes "overcoming difficulties."

Two carp are often used as motifs in Japanese art.

For this reason, placing two carp creates a space with a Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi.
