- Description
Two carps are swimming leisurely. The combination of the colors of black carp and Nishiki-goi carp brings rhythm to the painting, making you feel like they are swimming in the water. The design that combines pine and carp is a theme that has been drawn since ancient times because “shōri 松鯉 (pine and carp)” has the same pronunciation as “shōri 勝利 (victory)”, and thought to bring good fortune.
In this work as well, both are depicted without any discomfort due to the outstanding painting skills of Japanese-style painter Miyake Wakō. It is a work that carp lover fans can enjoy forever without getting bored.
