{"product_id":"ukiyo-e-woodblock-022","title":"Original  Ono Bakufu woodblock print\"  Fish of Japan\"  \/ Crucian Carp","description":"\u003cp\u003eA masterwork from Ono Bakufu's celebrated \"Great Japanese Fish Picture Collection\" (1937–1941), this woodblock print exemplifies the shin-hanga movement's fusion of scientific precision and artistic refinement. Bakufu sketched living specimens from aquariums and submersibles to achieve unparalleled anatomical accuracy, departing from the convention of studying dead fish. The print showcases the series' hallmark technique: multiple woodblocks with up to 250 impressions per sheet, often enhanced with delicate mica to evoke the luminous quality of scales. Part of a 72-print series documenting Japan's native fish species, this work reflects both cultural heritage and maritime significance. The original 500-copy limited edition, published by Nishinomiya Shōin, became exceptionally rare after the 1945 Kyoto air raid destroyed Bakufu's printing blocks. A significant acquisition for collectors of Japanese natural history art and shin-hanga printmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IchiNichi ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47215522152706,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ILS","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/5186\/4834\/files\/OldWoodblock022.jpg?v=1769682209","url":"https:\/\/ichinichicollection.com\/products\/ukiyo-e-woodblock-022","provider":"IchiNichi ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
