Oplegnathus fasciatus, the barred knifejaw or striped beakfish, is a species of knifejaw native to the northwestern Pacific Ocean though there area a smattering of records from other localities in the eastern Pacific such as Hawaii and Chile. It is an inhabitant of rocky reefs and occurs at depths of from 1 to 10 metres (3.3 to 32.8 ft). Juvenile members of this species can be found with patches of drifting seaweed. This species can reach a length of 80 centimetres (31 in) TL with the greatest recorded weight for this species of 6.4 kilograms (14 lb). The color pattern consists of light and dark vertical bars from which it derives its name. It has been recorded as feeding on hard-shelled invertebrates such as crustaceans and molluscs. It is a commercially important species and is also farmed. It is also sought after as a game fish.[1] A striped beakfish is the surviving specimen of five striped beakfish that endured more than two years in the partially submerged hull of the Japanese boat Sai-shou-maru.[2][3]

Note that this particular print does not have the usual black printer/carver seal of the first edition, but rather a red round seal on the front and Kyoto Hanga-In seals on the verso. Could this be a 1950's edition or re-sealed prints left over from the pre-war series?		 Monday, 14 July 2008

This is probably a later edition circa 1946-50 using recarved blocks.
