森山観月作「夫婦滝昇鯉」は、寄り添うように滝を昇る二匹の鯉を描いた吉祥画です。黒鯉と錦鯉が激流に挑む姿は、黄河の急流「竜門」を登り切った鯉が龍へと変ずるという故事「登竜門」を想起させ、立身出世や成功を祈願する象徴とされています。構図は画面上方へと躍動感を持って展開し、黒鯉の力強さと錦鯉の華やかさが対比しつつ調和を見せています。水しぶきの描写は勢いを添え、挑戦と飛躍の瞬間を鮮やかに浮かび上がらせています。二匹の鯉が共に登る姿には夫婦和合・家運隆盛の意味合いも重ねられ、家庭の繁栄や子孫繁栄を願う吉祥性が込められています。生命力あふれる表現と繊細な彩色が調和し、観る者に力強さと温かさを同時に伝える一幅です。

“Rising Carps at the Twin Waterfalls” by Kangetsu Moriyama is an auspicious painting depicting two carps ascending a waterfall side by side.

This artwork is produced using a high-definition Giclée printing technique.
“Giclée,” a French term meaning to spray ink, refers to a state-of-the-art printmaking method that uses computer-controlled technology to spray microscopic droplets of ink directly onto fine art paper or canvas.

Through ultra-high-resolution scanning, the original artwork is digitally decomposed into minute particles, which are then precisely printed onto the medium using a high-performance art printer.

A specially developed fine art silk canvas, known for its exceptional color reproduction and durability, is employed to achieve a smooth, elegant texture with a natural, refined finish.

By utilizing dedicated pigment-based inks, this process not only captures the essence of the original painting with remarkable fidelity, but also ensures outstanding lightfastness and water resistance—allowing the work to be preserved for 50 to even 100 years.

It represents the cutting edge of fine art reproduction, faithfully conveying the spirit of the original while allowing it to be enjoyed in lasting beauty for generations.
