Limited edition of 120 woodblock prints
Morikazu Kumagai, who basically only painted what he saw with his own eyes, unusually depicted the imaginary creature called the kappa repeatedly.
The dripping wet body expresses humidity through the gradation of ink, and it is lightly and playfully drawn alongside a somewhat charming fish. This is a work that lets you enjoy Kumagai’s playful spirit.

Featured in the art collection "Morikazu Kumagai Complete Woodblock Prints During His Lifetime" No.42-4.
