The fish with their flared fins, curved bodies, and incised detailing capturing a sense of fluid movement, their eyes subtly accented with dense nashiji lacquered pupils. Circular bubbles of varying sizes are inlaid around them, enhancing the sense of an underwater scene. The interior lacquered in mottled red with silver fundame rims.

The freshwater angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) is a popular species native to the Amazon Basin in South America, recognizable by its tall, triangular body, elongated fins, and striking vertical black stripes over a silver or golden body. Known for its graceful swimming and peaceful demeanor, the angelfish became especially favored in Japan during the mid-20th century, where it was selectively bred for ornamental aquariums and admired for its elegant, almost calligraphic form reminiscent of traditional Japanese aesthetics.
