Early work of Hiroto Norikane from the Fugu fish lantern series: ふぐちょうちん (提灯) Fugu chochin - Fugu fish lantern 1978, huge print 71 x57 cm, mixed media, mezzotint/copperplate etching and woodblock printed, with pigments applied.

Printed on thick, laid paper. Artist's red hanko seal and signature. Dated indecipherable, either 1978 or 1988 (The Fugu Fishe series is from the 70-80ies)

"Fugu" (pufferfish) has been known for the deadly tetrodotoxin. It is up to 1,200 times more poisonous than cyanide. There is enough toxin in one pufferfish to kill 30 adult humans, and there is no known antidote.
Despite this fact, some pufferfish, especially wild "tora-fugu", is considered an expensive delicacy. It has to be prepared only by trained, licensed "fugu" chefs. Its skin, liver and some internal organs are carefully removed in order not to contaminate the flesh. Many deaths occur annually by eating badly prepared "fugu" dish but apparently the reputation for the "deadly delicacy" is only fueling the popularity of consumption of this fish.

The artist is most known for his cats series. Landscapes, cats and fugu fish were his main subjects. Highly appreciated among collectors especially for his printing techniques, zinc/copperplate etching providing a much crisp and clear line. The ink and pigments used in this early print were very thick, one can feel the paint with one's fingers.

Shipping insured and express by UPS/DPD/FedEx, reaching anywhere in US and Europe in 3-6 days.

Condition: the print was framed with a thick wooden frame for many years which resulted in foxing on the edges that were in contact with the wood. But the image itself has no damage. Any damage can be seen in photos..

Mention: the print takes a completely different life if looked at in the light (from the back). The colors are more vibrant and the background textures can be seen. The image is very crisp.

Enjoy this exquisite print!

Dog loves even though they are thin product dog loves them and Picks Them out of many many toys.
These were super thin and I thought about tearing a hole in them and putting in a slight bit of stuffing. However, my dog absolutely loves them and we fling them across the house and the yard like little Frisbees. They are very lightweight but kind of a corduroy stitched fabric and they have lasted quite some time and been through the washer and dryer many times and abused. Still holding up and the dog loves them. Highly recommend a great product for the price.

Cute, big enough and top notch quality
These are SO CUTE! The look exactly like the pictures so I am really glad about that. They are quite substantial in size, big enough. See pics :). I gift one of three to my friend's dog. The texture is soft and boucle like and soothing for me and the doggos! The squeakiness is very prominent but not present in all parts of the toy - so its annoying. I am also glad these have no stuffing because they look great as is and lack of the stuff make them easy to chew on. The cuteness got me on this one and I may repurchase again, if need be.

Durable and cute for a small breed or senior dog
Smaller han expected but overall seem sturdy enough for my dog who tears every toy he gets within a day so these have held up so far and no cleaning up of stuffing in my living room which is a plus. My dog loves them
