A lively, masterfully executed study of a fisherman on the side of the street offering his merchandise, with a basket full of fish beside him. The chin-bearded man is wearing a black lacquer cap and shows a seductive expression, trying to appeal to customers. The wickerwork of the basket as well as the garment patterns are minutely executed. Signed MINKOKU on the base next to the small himotoshi. Excellent use of this rare material.
