Notes: A fabulous print by Koichi Sakamoto: 山女実 (Yamame Trout). This finely detailed composition captures the distinctive markings of the yamame, a freshwater trout native to Japan. Known as the "Queen of the Mountain Streams," the yamame thrives in cold, fast-flowing rivers and is prized for its beauty and rarity. The fish appear suspended in clear, flowing water, with soft shading and delicate textures enhancing the sense of depth. A shadowy form in the background adds a quiet, elusive presence. Sakamoto’s subtle colour palette and precise technique create a beautifully balanced work, highlighting the grace of this sought-after fish. Limited edition of 50.
