Watanabe Seitei
【Two Hanging scrolls of Iris and carps】
This is a rare combination of carp and irises. Seitei barely depicts the surface of the water, instead depicting the overlapping carp and aquatic plants from a bird's-eye view, creating a sense of depth and transparency below the water's surface.

Artist History
Watanabe Seitei (1852-1918) was a Japanese painter from the end of the Edo period to the Taisho period. He studied under Kikuchi Yosai, and was especially skilled at painting kachōga (flower-and-bird painting). He created his own style by incorporating Western-style expression. He won a bronze medal for exhibiting at the Paris world expo in 1878, and a silver medal at the Amsterdam world expo in 1883, earning him high praise not only in Japan but also in Europe and the United States.
