What have we here? Fish flying around a vase...? So you might think at first glance, but the sides of a fish tank just visible on the picture’s left and right edges confirm the suggestion in the title that this is in fact an aquarium.
Hasegawa Kiyoshi believed that everything in nature is connected. Both the small flowers in the vase and the fish swimming behind rely on water for their survival. And human beings also exist as part of this same interconnected web of life. His thoughts had a prayer-like quality that lent an indescribable warmth to his copperplate prints, with their gradations in black ink.
