EDITORS COMMENTS
This polychrome woodblock print, titled "Fugu and Inada Fish, from the series Uozukushi (Every Variety of Fish), 1840s" is a masterpiece created by Ando Hiroshige during the Edo period in Japan. The renowned artist skillfully captures the essence of aquatic life through his use of ink and color on paper. In this particular print, Hiroshige showcases two distinct fish species: Fugu and Inada. The vibrant colors bring these creatures to life, allowing viewers to appreciate their beauty and intricacies. However, it is important to note that while Inada fish are harmless delicacies enjoyed in Japanese cuisine, Fugu fish possess a dangerous toxin that requires careful preparation before consumption. Hiroshige's attention to detail shines through as he meticulously portrays each scale and fin with precision. This piece exemplifies the ukiyo-e artistic school style popular during the 19th century in Japan. Now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage artwork serves as a testament to Hiroshige's immense talent and contribution to Japanese art history. It offers us a glimpse into both the natural world and cultural significance surrounding these fascinating marine creatures. As we admire this woodblock print today, we can't help but marvel at how Hiroshige's work continues to captivate audiences worldwide centuries after its creation.
