Few details survive in this record beyond the subject: an ink drawing of fish and assorted objects rendered on a single sheet of paper. Drawings of this kind belong to a long East Asian tradition in which artists sketched marine life and everyday things with a few confident brush or pen strokes, valuing economy of line as much as accuracy. Japanese artists in particular often studied fish closely, both for their decorative possibilities and as subjects of practical observation. Look at how the ink varies in density across the sheet, which shows the artist's control of pressure and speed.
