Fish. The influence of Western naturalism upon the Japanese tradition of

The influence of Western naturalism upon the Japanese tradition of calligraphic drawing is shown in this water colour and one can also trace in it the influence of Western composition, and of the western feeling for a background filling up the frame. But the extreme delicacy of the touch, the subtle management of the small range of colour and the magic suggestion of gliding movement are essentially characteristic of Far Eastern Art. Date: circa 1926

EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor print, titled "Fish," dates back to circa 1926 and showcases the intriguing fusion of Western naturalism and the Japanese tradition of calligraphic drawing. The influence of Western art is evident in the composition, which fills the frame with a detailed background, and the feeling for a balanced and complete picture. However, the delicate touch and subtle management of color, reminiscent of a magic suggestion of gliding movement, are distinctively Eastern in character. The artist behind this masterpiece is Kazunori Ishibashi, whose artistic prowess bridged the gap between Eastern and Western artistic traditions. The fish in the foreground is rendered with an almost ethereal quality, its form and movement captured with a deftness that speaks to the artist's mastery of the medium. The background, while filled with intricate details, does not detract from the fish but rather enhances the overall composition. The small range of color used in the print adds to the sense of harmony and balance, as each hue is employed with great care and consideration. The magic suggestion of gliding movement is achieved through the use of delicate brushstrokes, which give the fish a sense of fluidity and grace. Overall, this "Fish" print is a stunning example of the influence of Western naturalism on the Japanese tradition of calligraphic drawing, and a testament to Kazunori Ishibashi's artistic vision and skill.
