<p>In Kimetsu no Yaiba, we see Tanjiro learning the water style from Urokodaki.
But is it "magic" or just an artistic visualization?</p>

Is the water style actual "magic" or is it just a visualisation?

It's never mentioned in the manga that this is some kind of magic, and it's made fairly clear that it's just a visualization that represents the user's style of swordsmanship (called breaths).

From the [wiki](https://kimetsu-no-yaiba.fandom.com/wiki/Breathing_Styles):

> The majority of known Breathing Styles mimic a certain element of nature (i.e. flame, water and wind) and replicates it with the user's movements, techniques and abilities.
