Koi Fish Sumi-e Painting "Harmony of Two Hearts"

Size: 61×61 cm = 24×24 inches

This is an original sumi-e of two koi fish and lotuses. The calligraphy says 異体同心 itaidōshin (i different + tai body + dō same + shin mind) — Harmony of mind between two persons; two persons acting in perfect accord.

Japanese ink and mineral pigments, high-quality raw unbleached rice paper.
Signed, stamped with "Two koi" seal and my personal artistic seal, carved by myself.

In Japan, the Koi is a symbol of luck, prosperity, and good fortune, and also of perseverance in the face of adversity. The Lotus is a sacred flower in both Hinduism and Buddhism, representing the path to spiritual awakening and enlightenment.

This painting is a perfect gift for a harmonious spiritual couple, adding an Oriental touch to any interior.
