This is a free illustration of Nihon Unagi, the Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica), a migratory fish that travels between rivers, lakes, and the ocean. It’s widely recognized as a seasonal delicacy in Japan, especially grilled as kabayaki during the summer. At the same time, Nihon Unagi is listed as an endangered species, with declining populations due to overfishing and habitat loss.
Its life cycle is mysterious and fascinating: spawning occurs in the deep sea near the Philippines, and the larvae ride the Kuroshio Current to reach Japan’s rivers. This blend of cultural importance and ecological intrigue makes Nihon Unagi a uniquely Japanese symbol.
Recommended for food-themed blog posts, educational materials, streaming overlays, or any creative project that explores nature, tradition, or sustainability.
