‘Japanese Sea Creatures’ is a giclee print of an original 11x14” sumi ink painting featuring sea creatures in Japan by Ema Kubo.

Part of a 3-painting series also including birds , and reptiles & amphibians.

About the Painting

If I could pick one animal I’m always drawn to in print or paintings, it would be sea creatures - mostly fish. That includes the Japanese fish scale pattern that I want to add on everything I own.

This painting was the first of my series of 3. I wondered which are around Japan, and sketched how they’d look together. Once I painted a few in my sketchbook, I had to keep going. I could have covered a wall with my list of Japanese sea creatures I wanted to paint, but I narrowed it down to a variety of distinct shapes in an 11x14” painting. I’m sure I’ll revisit painting fish in the future.

The measurements include the white edge so it can be framed with or without a mat/mount. Please contact me with any framing questions.

The print will be packaged flat in a clear sleeve with a backboard in a rigid mailer for protection to ensure it reaches you in perfect condition.

The print will be signed on the front and dated on the back.
