This ukiyo-e print by Isoda Koryūsai, titled *Young Man Strolling near the Sea*, showcases a young man, likely a samurai, with a long, flowing robe and a sword strapped to his side. The composition emphasizes the figure's elegance and grace, accentuating the dynamic lines of the long garment. This work, created between 1770 and 1790, reveals the artist's skill in capturing the essence of Japanese fashion and everyday life during the Edo period. The setting, a coastal landscape with birds flying overhead, adds to the sense of tranquility and beauty.
