Returning Boats at Komagata 1735 - 1790

"Returning Boats at Komagata" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Isoda Koryūsai, dating from 1735-1790. This artwork depicts a scene of three figures, possibly a courtesan and her attendants, watching boats return to shore. The scene is rendered with characteristic elegance and refined details. Koryūsai's work is known for its delicate lines and vivid colors, making this print a fine example of ukiyo-e, or "pictures of the floating world," a genre of Japanese art that flourished in the Edo Period.
