{"product_id":"fishes-swimming-with-yellow-flowers-keisai-eisen","title":"Fishes Swimming with Yellow Flowers - Keisai Eisen","description":"\u003cp\u003eA delicate woodblock print by Keisai Eisen featuring three fish swimming alongside a cluster of yellow flowers, rendered in the traditional kacho-ga style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis woodblock print by Keisai Eisen belongs to the kacho-ga genre, which translates to pictures of flowers and birds. While the term specifically references those subjects, it traditionally encompasses a wider range of natural imagery, including fish and aquatic life. Eisen, a prolific artist of the late Edo period, demonstrates a refined approach to composition here, balancing the fluid movement of the fish with the static, decorative arrangement of the yellow blossoms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print features three fish navigating the water, their bodies rendered with clean, precise lines that suggest motion. To the right, a cluster of yellow flowers with teal-coloured leaves provides a visual anchor. The artist employs a restrained palette, allowing the soft yellow tones to contrast against the neutral background. The inclusion of calligraphy in the upper portion of the print is a hallmark of the surimono style, where text and image share a harmonious relationship on the page. The paper texture remains visible, adding a tactile quality to the final impression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEisen was known for his work in various genres, including bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women), but his nature studies reveal a keen eye for observation. The composition avoids overcrowding, leaving significant negative space that invites the viewer to focus on the interaction between the aquatic subjects and the flora. This print is an example of the technical precision achieved by Japanese printmakers during the nineteenth century, where the carving of the woodblocks allowed for delicate details in the petals and the scales of the fish. It remains a quiet, contemplative piece that reflects the aesthetic values of the period, prioritising balance and natural observation over dramatic flair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/view-of-tokyo-snow-scene-utagawa-hiroshige-ii\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eView of Tokyo, Snow Scene - Utagawa Hiroshige II — Utagawa Hiroshige II\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/yokkaichi-view-of-the-mie-river-utagawa-hiroshige-1\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eYokkaichi: View of the Mie River - Utagawa Hiroshige — Utagawa Hiroshige\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Keisai Eisen","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58726095421775,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58726100468047,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58726100500815,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58726100533583,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58726100566351,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58726100599119,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58726100631887,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58726100664655,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58726100697423,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58726100730191,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58726100762959,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58726100795727,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Fishes-Swimming-with-Yellow-Flowers_Poster_CompositorV1_1788963358792.jpg?v=1788963982","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/fishes-swimming-with-yellow-flowers-keisai-eisen","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
