"A Carp" is one of the most evocative images in the visual universe of Katsushika Hokusai, the undisputed master of 19th-century ukiyo-e. This print, reproduced on fine Amalfi paper, captures the symbolic force of the carp, an animal associated with perseverance, transformation and success in Japanese tradition.
Held at the Musée Guimet in Paris, this image also testifies to Hokusai's international success and to the dialogue between Japanese art and European taste.
