Huam Carp07721

This woodblock print captures a jumble of carp rendered in Yuhan Ito's characteristic atmospheric style, their scaled bodies overlapping in a dense pattern that suggests abundance and vitality. The composition plays with positive and negative space, reducing the fish to bold decorative forms while retaining enough naturalistic detail to feel alive. Ito brings to even this unconventional subject the same careful attention to tone and mood that defines his landscape work.
