Original Japanese Woodblock Print by Bafuku Ohno, 1888-1976. He was an honored painter and printmaker in Japan, a member of the Hyogo Prefecture Academy of Fine Arts.
I believe this print is titled "Sweetfish". It is from his famous Great Japanese Fish Picture Collection, circa 1940. This series, my limited research indicates, consists of 72 prints of fresh and saltwater fish & crustaceans. This print is in it's original mat. The actual print dimensions are 16" x 11 1/4 " .

This is a bright piece, full of movement. The fish and the water plants - beautifully detailed and multi-layed in color - sway in the water currents. The use of fine powdered mica is extravagant in this print. The water and the plants all have a fine dusting, creating a magical atmosphere when viewed in the right light.

The print itself is in very good condition, but there are some flaws to be aware of:

PRINT:A piece of paper (marked "Sweetfish") was paperclipped to the lower right corner of the mat. I believe the paperclip was there for many years. The margin of the print (not the printed portion) shows 1/8" of an indent from the paperclip. There is also a slight black ink mark on the edge of the lower right corner of the print margin.

The glue used to attached the print to the mat has bleached the print in each upper corner and some of the outer most edges of the print show slight yellowing from contact with the mat

None of these flaws are visible when the print is in the mat.

MAT: The paperclip left an indent on the lower right of the mat and the upper seam of the mat, top left, has a small 1" tear. It is hard to see.

Two of the photos in this listing are of the labels, one in English and one in Japanese. They are on the original brown paper wrapping the set of prints were purchased in. They will not be included in this sale, they are for reference photos only.

Please notice I have two other prints from this artist listed on ebay - shrimp and rainbow trout. I purchased eight originally. Two have sold, two I am keeping for my collection (goldfish and eel - which is an amazing study in cobalt blue). The remaining print, koi, we are still deciding if we will keep or list.
