The composition depicts a scene involving a boat and two figures, rendered with the characteristic precision of the era. Koryūsai, a former samurai who turned to professional printmaking, is recognised for his contributions to the development of the full-colour print, or nishiki-e. His work often features elegant figures set against simplified backgrounds, allowing the focus to remain on the posture and attire of the subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print displays a balanced use of line and colour. The figures are dressed in patterned kimonos, with the standing woman wearing a garment adorned with bamboo motifs. The seated figure, positioned within the wooden boat, holds a box, suggesting a narrative moment of departure or arrival. The muted, earthy tones of the water and the warm orange hues of the boat structure provide a calm backdrop for the figures. The inclusion of calligraphy in the upper section of the print is a common feature of the period, often providing context or poetic commentary related to the visual subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoryūsai was prolific, producing a large number of prints that documented the fashions and social customs of the time. His style is marked by a refined approach to the human form, often elongating the figures to create a sense of grace. This print is an example of his ability to integrate human subjects with their immediate environment, using the boat as a framing device to create a sense of space. The work remains a clear representation of the aesthetic values prevalent in late 18th-century Japanese print culture, where the depiction of daily life and refined beauty were central concerns for artists and their audiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/chinese-poetry-from-the-series-three-classical-arts-for-the-sugawara-circle-yashima-gakutei\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eChinese Poetry, from the series Three Classical Arts for the Sugawara Circle by Yashima Gakutei\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/the-courtesan-hinaogi-of-the-daikokuya-at-the-entrance-of-kadomachi-utagawa-sadakage\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Courtesan Hinaogi of the Daikokuya at the Entrance of Kadomachi by Utagawa Sadakage\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/collections\/isoda-koryusai\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMore by Isoda Koryūsai →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Isoda Koryūsai","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59092542521679,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59092554580303,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59092554613071,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59092554645839,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59092554678607,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59092554711375,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59092554744143,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59092554776911,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59092554809679,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59092554842447,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59092554875215,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59092554907983,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Nagauta-Kihan_Poster_CompositorV1_1791769942391-q80.jpg?v=1792447847","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/de\/products\/nagauta-kihan-isoda-koryusai","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
