Pair of Signed Japanese Hand-coloured Woodblocks of Koi, earlier 20th century

A pair of Japanese hand-coloured woodblocks on washi paper, each signed, depicting koi. They are framed together in a vintage frame.

The woodblocks are in excellent condition.

As koi can grow very large and live a long life, they have become a symbol of prosperity and good luck. Their slow, graceful movements also symbolize peace and tranquillity.
