From Hiroshige's A Shoal of Fishes (Uo-zukushi), a distinctive series featuring close-up studies of fish and marine creatures. Less famous than his landscape series but prized by collectors for its bold graphic quality and naturalistic observation.
Abalone, halfbeak fish, and a sprig of peach appear together in this nishiki-e print from the "Shoal of Fishes" (Uozukushi) series. Hiroshige arranges the marine subjects with the precision of a natural history illustration, combining the flat shellfish, the slender silver halfbeak, and the soft-pink peach in a composition that plays on texture and form. The series reflects the Edo-period interest in encyclopedic natural subjects rendered in polychrome woodblock.
