Watanabe Seitei
【Two hanging scrolls of Irises and Carps】

This is a rare combination of carps and irises. Seitei created a sense of depth and transparency beneath the water’s surface by barely depicting the water itself and instead focusing on the overlapping carps and aquatic plants from a bird's-eye view.
