The Fish (魚と出会う図鑑) is an illustrated art book by Japanese artist Yusei Nagashima (長嶋祐成), who specializes in illustrating marine life. A native of Osaka and graduate of the prestigious Tokyo university, Yusei had a strong interest in fishes/insects and have been illustrating them since he was a kid.

This art book showcases 145 different types of fishes and marine life, all beautifully illustrated in brilliant, vibrant colors. Even if you don’t understand the accompanying Japanese text, the art work is still plenty splendid eye candy and can be appreciated on their own.

Most of us probably regard fishes primarily as a source of food, but there’s an astounding variety of species living in the world’s oceans that are stunning to behold; the beautiful patterns and scales of their streamlined forms. This book is a good opportunity to appreciate just a few of them.
