Tropical Fish by Isaku Nakagawa

Vibrant tropical fish and a sneaky octopus, all wearing rather comical expressions (if you look closely at them!), are the subject of this early 1940s-era woodblock print by the sosaku-hanga artist, Isaku Nakagawa. Nakagawa helped found the Kyoto Sôsaku-hanga Kyôkai (Kyoto Creative Print Society) in 1929 and joined the Nihon Hanga Kyôkai (Japan Print Association) in 1932. His prints were displayed in numerous exhibitions throughout his lifetime.
