Beschreibung
A serene triptych by Utagawa Kuniyoshi depicting women enjoying a moonlit boat excursion during the autumn season.
This triptych by Utagawa Kuniyoshi depicts a scene of leisure on the water during the autumn season. As a master of the Ukiyo-e tradition, Kuniyoshi captures the atmosphere of a moonlit evening, where figures occupy wooden boats on a gently rippling river. The composition is divided across three panels, creating a wide perspective that allows the viewer to observe the interaction between the occupants of the vessels.
In the left panel, a woman sits alone in a small boat, gazing upward toward the moon. The central and right panels show a larger, covered boat where other figures point toward the sky, perhaps observing the moon or a flight of birds. The artist employs a balanced use of line and colour to define the wooden structures of the boats and the soft folds of the kimonos worn by the figures. The water is rendered with rhythmic, repetitive patterns that suggest movement, while the sky remains relatively clear, allowing the moon to serve as a quiet anchor for the scene.
Kuniyoshi was known for his technical skill and his ability to bring narrative depth to his prints. This work belongs to a series exploring the seasonal activities of women, a common theme in Edo-period art. The print demonstrates the artist's command of the woodblock medium, from the precise carving of the architectural elements to the subtle gradients in the water and sky. The figures are depicted with naturalistic poses, reflecting the relaxed nature of their outing. This print offers a glimpse into the social customs of the period, where such excursions provided a respite from daily life. The muted palette, dominated by blues, greys, and soft earth tones, reinforces the calm, nocturnal mood of the autumn setting.

Artist Biography
Utagawa Kuniyoshi
Kuniyoshi's father was a silk dyer in Edo. The boy helped with pattern design, which gave him an instinct for colour and textile decoration that shows in every print he made. At twelve he caught the attention of Utagawa Toyokuni, the head of the Utagawa school, and was admitted as a student. He was given the name Kuniyoshi in 1814 and became independent.
For the first thirteen years he struggled. The breakthrough came in 1827 with a commission to illustrate the 108 Heroes of the Suikoden, a Chinese adventure novel. He drew tattooed warriors in dynamic poses that broke out of the frame, the tattoos rendered with a detail that started a fashion in Edo. The series was enormously popular and established him as the leading designer of warrior prints.
He loved cats. His studio was always full of them, and he often worked with a kitten tucked inside his kimono. When a cat died, he sent it to a nearby temple, and he kept a Buddhist altar for his deceased cats at home. Cats appear constantly in his prints: as substitute actors in kabuki scenes, as letter-forms in playful alphabets, as parodies of famous paintings. Government censorship in the 1840s prohibited the depiction of actors and courtesans by name, so Kuniyoshi gave them cat faces, which was technically legal and funnier.
His range was unusual for an ukiyo-e artist. Warriors, landscapes, beautiful women, ghosts, satirical cartoons, cats. He was equally comfortable with the heroic and the absurd, sometimes on the same sheet. His triptych of the giant skeleton spectre, from the tale of Takiyasha the Witch, is one of the most reproduced images in Japanese art.
