My take on 'Scorpion and Isaki Fish with Root Ginger' by Hiroshige.
You can see the original print by the master here.
Hiroshige was influenced by Western still-life with his fish series, so I thought I'd take it further and make the fishes a little more realistic.

My apologies to whoever who can read Japanese: I know those scribbles make absolutely no sense! I was blindly copying the original calligraphy :D

    Those are awesome fishes! Very nice rendering and it's still unique enough to be respected as its own piece and it's still similar enough to the original to see the connection.

    Don't worry about the calligraphy. They're impossible to read in the first place anyway.
