Tokyo brand Isshindo Honpo looked to Utagawa Hiroshige’s woodblock prints for these fish-shaped packets. The designs draw on his Sea Bream and Sansho Pepper and Bonito and Cherry Blossom prints, bringing the fish off the page and into three dimensions. The snacks are made by Igetaya Seika in Takahama, Aichi, Japan.
