OHNO Bakufu was one of the pupils of Nagahara Kotaro, a professor of the western painting department of Tokyo Art University, currently Tokyo University of the Arts.
After he changed the field to the printmaking department, he published "Fish Picture Collection of Japan," the beautiful collection of woodblock prints of various fishes in Japan.
To express the fishes' complex surfaces, he and the engravers and printers layered over 200 colors again and again. We can see the passion of not only Bakufu but also the engravers and printers.
