Rabbit and Fish Possibly 1855

"Rabbit and Fish" is a woodblock print by Shikô Shikô, possibly dated 1855. The artwork depicts a scene of a fishing rod with a red fish on the hook, along with two other fish, a white rabbit, and a scene of a river. The print is in the style of ukiyo-e, the Japanese genre of woodblock printing that flourished in the Edo period. It is currently housed in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. The delicate lines and muted colors of the print create a serene and peaceful atmosphere, highlighting the beauty of nature and the quietude of the scene. This artwork is a testament to the skill of the artist in capturing the beauty of everyday life in Japan during the Edo period.
