EDITORS COMMENTS
In this breathtaking print captured by Toru Hanai, we are transported to the enchanting Chidorigafuchi moat in Tokyo, Japan. The image showcases a carp gracefully swimming amidst an abundance of cherry blossom petals that have delicately covered the water's surface. As spring season takes hold, the vibrant sakura blooms create a picturesque backdrop for this wild animal's solitary journey. The instinctual nature of the carp is evident as it navigates through the submerged petals with ease and grace. Its open mouth suggests a momentary pause in its swim leisure, perhaps taking in the fresh air above or capturing sustenance from the surrounding environment. The creative use of color and composition highlights both the beauty in nature and growth during this time of year. The contrast between the vivid pink petals and deep blue water creates an atmospheric ambiance that evokes tranquility and serenity. With no people present, we are left to marvel at this scene where wildlife thrives harmoniously within their natural habitat. This top picture captures not only a single fish but also represents multiple moments of natural wonder found within one frame. Hanai's skillful lens has immortalized this fleeting moment when cherry blossoms meet water, resulting in an extraordinary visual experience that celebrates both Japanese culture and Mother Nature herself.
