"Carp Swimming Upstream" is a woodblock print by the famed Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Andō Hiroshige. Though the exact dating of this artwork is not clear, it is believed to have been created during the late Edo period (1603-1868). Like many of Hiroshige's works, this print encapsulates his adept use of color, mastery over the woodcut medium, and keen eye for capturing nature.

"Carp Swimming Upstream" portrays a number of carps, depicted in the act of swimming against the current. This motif is a traditional symbol in Japanese art, representing perseverance and strength in adversity. The perspective and composition of the artwork show Hiroshige's innovative approach to ukiyo-e, moving away from the flatness associated with the genre and providing a sense of depth and dynamism.

The print is part of many renowned art collections globally, attesting to Hiroshige's enduring influence in the art world. His work has had a significant impact on both Japanese art and Western artists, most noticeably in inspiring the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements. Though the exact meaning behind "Carp Swimming Upstream" is subject to interpretation, the work's stylistic profundity and enduring popularity reflect Hiroshige's place as one of history's most influential artists.
