A large koi surging upward through crashing waves — head tipped back, scales rendered in solid black with detailed shading, water curling around it in the classic irezumi style. The composition has real movement: the fish feels like it's mid-leap.

At 150 × 230 mm, this is a full-panel piece. Built for a thigh, an upper arm sleeve section, a calf, or a full chest placement. The vertical orientation follows the body naturally. A go-to for anyone testing a Japanese-style composition before committing to permanent ink.
