Description from the seller
Japanese woodblock print (reprint) - Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858) - "Kanagashira Gurnards, Flatfish & Bamboo Grass", from the series A Shoal of Fishes - Japan - 1960
Dimensions: 39 cm x 27 cm
Condition of the print:
Considering its age, the Japanese woodblock print is in beautiful, well-preserved condition. The colors have remained particularly bright and vibrant. The lovely green and orange tones stand out especially well, giving the print a fresh and atmospheric appearance.
The details of the gurnard and flatfish have been carefully preserved. The colors and scales of the sea creatures are rendered beautifully, bringing out their natural shapes and textures. The subtle color variations and fine lines are also still clearly visible. All in all, it is an atmospheric print with beautiful colors and fine detailing.
The artist:
Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858) was one of Japan's greatest masters of ukiyo-e (woodblock printmaking). He became world-famous for his innovative depictions of landscapes, weather, and everyday life in Japan.
Series:
This print comes from Hiroshige's well-known series Uo-zukushi (魚尽くし), also known as Every Variety of Fish. The series was created around 1832–1833 and depicts various kinds of fish, combined with plants and herbs, and often kyōka poems.
The series was originally created as an illustrated poetry album for a group of poets and was later also published as individual prints. Approximately 20 designs are considered part of the series in total.
Shipping:
The woodblock print will be carefully and securely packaged to protect it during transport. It will be shipped by registered mail with a Track & Trace code, allowing the shipment to be tracked throughout its journey.
Seller's Story
Hi! I’m Sophie from the Netherlands and I sell Japanese prints on Catawiki. I once lived in Japan and honestly, it felt like home from the very first day. When I moved back to the Netherlands, I missed Japan so much that I started looking for ways to keep it close to me.
One day, while wandering through a market, I stumbled upon a stack of old Japanese prints. It was love at first sight and I couldn’t stop looking at them. Ever since then, I’ve been collecting the most beautiful prints, handpicked by me in Japan.
I only bring home pieces that truly touch me, so I can share a little piece of Japan with you. Whether you’re a collector, a fan of Japanese art, or just looking for something special for your wall, I hope you enjoy them as much as I did when I found them.
