For the tempura batter, I brought out a coarse texture with dry brush in the ink, and for the arc of the shrimp's body, I expressed the unevenness of its segments through the thickness of the oblique brush. The fan of the tail keeps a feather-like stiffness with a fine brush, while at the head I made a pause on both lines and closed them in a round shape, giving the brushwork a rising and falling momentum.
— Sakana NamazuOriginal (Japanese)
天ぷらの衣は墨のかすれで粗い質感を出し、えびの胴体の弧は側筆の太みで節の凹凸を表現した。尾の扇は細筆で羽状の硬さを残し、頭部は両線を溜めて丸く収めて一起一伏の筆勢を与えた。
