Item Description: This is an exceptional Japanese wood carving by the artist Azamiyama (薊山), titled "Twin Koi" (双鯉). The sculpture captures two koi fish swimming dynamically atop stylized water, showcasing remarkable craftsmanship and traditional Japanese symbolism. Koi are renowned as emblems of perseverance, prosperity, and transformation, making this piece not only decorative but also deeply meaningful. Each koi is intricately carved from solid wood, with incredible attention to detail in the scales, fins, and facial features. The base mimics flowing water, rendered in dramatic curves and waves that give the entire composition a vivid sense of movement and natural energy. The artist's signature 薊山 (Azamiyama) is engraved on both the fish and the base, indicating a unified creation from a single artist.
