Two Veiltail Goldfish
Coloured woodcut, 37.7 x 24.1 cm, by Ohara Koson,
1900–1936
Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam
 

The goldfish glide through pale blue water, their long pink fins set against feathery green plants below. The print uses shin-hanga methods with fine carving, smooth bokashi shading, and layered pigments that create a light, luminous surface.
