The story behind the print

This whale shark poster depicts a large spotted shark swimming diagonally through a textured green sea. A school of small orange fish scatters above and below the shark, while dense dark green seaweed frames the lower right and bottom left corners. The shark's body is rendered in deep blue with cream mottling, giving it a distinctive patterned appearance.

The composition uses a woodblock-inspired illustrative style with visible grain and layered colour. The shark's dorsal fin and tail are clearly defined, and the orange fish create a warm contrast against the cool blue and green background. This Japanese fish print works well in a coastal-themed room or as part of a gallery wall.

This ocean wall art is supplied unframed and printed to order in the UK on 270 gsm premium satin paper using a 12-colour Mimaki UCJV300-160 printer with authentic Mimaki OEM inks. Each print is rolled and packaged by hand and is available in multiple sizes.
