Black Seabream (Kurodai)

Japanese Woodblock Print (Reprint) - Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) - Black Seabream (Kurodai), Small Seabream (Kodai), and Japanese Peppercorns (Sansho), from the series A Shoal of Fishes - Japan - 1960 Dimensions: 39 cm x 27 cm Dimensions with mat: 48 cm x 34 cm Condition and state of the print: The Japanese woodblock print is, given its age, in a beautiful and well-kept condition. The colors remain particularly bright and vivid. In particular, the stunning blue and yellow tones come out nicely and give the print a fresh and atmospheric look. The print is supplied with a mat and includes a folder where the print can be stored. The details have been carefully preserved. The fine scales of the fish are especially beautifully and precisely depicted, allowing the texture and natural appearance of the fish to come into their own. The subtle color differences and fine lines are also clearly visible. All in all, it is an atmospheric print with beautiful colors and lovely detailing. The artist: Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858) was one of the greatest Japanese masters of ukiyo-e (woodblock printmaking). He became world-famous for his innovative capture 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 features different kinds of fish, often combined with plants, spices, and kyōka poems. The series was originally made as an illustrated poetry album for a group of poets and was later also issued as individual prints. In total, about 20 designs are attributed to this series. This print depicts a black seabream (kurodai) and juvenile seabreams (kodai), together with young shoots and sanshō, the Japanese pepper plant. Hiroshige depicted the fish with great attention to detail, especially the scales, fins, and natural shapes. The tranquil composition and refined details give the print an elegant, almost scientific appearance. Shipping: The woodblock print is carefully and securely packed to protect it well during transport. The print is shipped by registered mail and provided with a Track & Trace code, so the shipment can be tracked throughout the entire process.
