Goldfish c. 1928 - 1930

"Goldfish" is a woodblock print created by Komori Soseki in 1928-1930. This piece, currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, showcases Soseki's mastery of the medium, capturing the delicate details of the goldfish against a vibrant, textured turquoise backdrop. The subtle hints of green in the water add depth and movement, suggesting a watery environment. The print's composition, with the two goldfish swimming gracefully, evokes a sense of serenity and the beauty of nature.
