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.
Red seabream (madai) and fragrant Japanese pepper leaves (sansho) are arranged together in this [nishiki-e](/glossary/nishiki-e) print from the "Shoal of Fishes" series. The red sea bream was the most auspicious fish in Japanese cuisine, its scarlet scales associated with celebration and good fortune; here Hiroshige pairs the fish with the pungent sansho leaf that traditionally accompanies it in cooking, rendering both subjects with the precision of a nature study.
