Lovers Under a Pine Tree with Broom c. 1771

Isoda Koryūsai's "Lovers Under a Pine Tree with Broom" is a classic example of the hashira-e, a type of woodblock print popular in Edo-period Japan. The work depicts two figures in traditional Japanese attire, standing under a pine tree. One figure holds a broom. The print's vibrant colors and detailed patterns highlight the beauty of Japanese clothing and nature. Koryūsai, renowned for his depiction of beautiful women, often incorporated delicate details like the flowers and flowing patterns in his art. This piece, dating back to c. 1771, exemplifies his mastery of the ukiyo-e style and continues to captivate art enthusiasts with its elegance and charm.
