"A black and white kitten, with a red bow around its neck, curiously approaches a porcelain bowl where goldfish are swimming. The scene is of absolute gentleness and poetry."

Context of the work

This work is signed by Ohara Koson (1877-1945), a master of shin-hanga and specialist in bird and flower prints (kacho-ga), who also produced magnificent depictions of cats.

The goldfish bowl (kingyo) is a recurring motif in Japanese summer art and culture, associated with luck, prosperity, and ephemeral beauty.

What do goldfish (kingyo) symbolize in Japanese culture?

Goldfish (kingyo) are associated with luck, prosperity, and ephemeral beauty in Japanese summer culture, a motif that Ohara Koson (1877-1945) here combines with the curiosity of a kitten.
