"Common and Golden Carp" is a renowned 1935 Japanese woodblock print by Ohara Koson, celebrated for its elegant depiction of fish in the shin-hanga style.

The print is a classic example of the kachō-e (bird-and-flower, or in this case, fish) genre, featuring two distinct types of carp in a tranquil aquatic setting. Ohara Koson (also known as Ohara Shōson or Hōson, depending on the publisher) was a key artist in the shin-hanga movement, which combined traditional Japanese woodblock techniques with Western influences in shading and naturalistic detail. The carp in the print symbolize perseverance and strength in Japanese culture.
