Comments - Lovely Hiroshige woodblock of three swimming fish. A large carp swims peacefully, a few strands of delicate seaweed floating nearby, with two other fish barely visible behind. Beautifully shaded with delicate gradations to create a sense of movement and rhythm in the water. A beautiful example of Hiroshige's classic nature prints in the rare aizuri-e format, printed only in tones of blue.
