Biscuit Career Carp Catch Inspires Leaping Previously Despaired Myth Persevere Persevering Repeatedly

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of perseverance and determination through the story of a carp in Japan. The image depicts a carp repeatedly leaping from the icy waters to catch a biscuit, inspiring artist Rosetsu to persevere with his art career despite previous despair. In 1908, Rosetsu found himself at a crossroads in his artistic journey, feeling disheartened and unsure of his path. However, upon witnessing the tenacity of this carp as it tirelessly pursued its goal, he was struck by a newfound sense of motivation and resolve. The mythological significance of the carp in Japanese culture as a symbol of perseverance and success is beautifully portrayed in this photograph. As Rosetsu watched in awe at the fish's unwavering determination, he saw reflected in its actions the strength and resilience needed to overcome obstacles in his own life. Through this powerful moment captured on film by Mary Evans Picture Library, we are reminded that even when faced with challenges and setbacks, it is possible to find inspiration and push forward towards our dreams. Just like the persevering carp leaping from the ice for that elusive biscuit, Rosetsu's story serves as a testament to the transformative power of persistence and belief in oneself.
