• Hayami Gyoshu (1894–1935) was a Japanese painter active from the Taisho to the early Showa periods, who pursued a style that combined realistic observational skills with a unique aesthetic sense. In his early years, he placed importance on detailed depiction, but later incorporated decorativeness and symbolism, bringing innovation to traditional Japanese painting. His works are characterized by precise brushwork depicting tranquil scenes of nature and everyday life, and lyrical compositions with subdued colors. Although he was a short-lived painter, he made a profound contribution to the modernization of Japanese painting.

• Mifune meticulously depicts the sweetfish's slender body lines, the luster of its scales, and its movements in the water. The background is kept simple, and much of the painting is made up of white space and pale colors, highlighting the presence of the sweetfish. The beauty of omission and emphasis, typical of Japanese painting, is utilized.
