A dramatic woodblock print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, 'A Boat upon the Waters' depicts a woman about to strike a man with a sword on a boat. The print showcases Kuniyoshi's skill in capturing dynamic movement and emotional intensity.
This woodblock print, attributed to Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861), depicts a dramatic scene unfolding on a boat. Kuniyoshi was a prominent artist of the Ukiyo-e style, known for his depictions of historical events, mythical creatures, and scenes from everyday life. His work often displays a flair for the theatrical and a keen sense of narrative. The print shows a woman, elaborately dressed in a patterned kimono, poised to strike a seated man with a sword. The composition is carefully arranged, with the figures positioned on a wooden boat deck. Above the main scene, a smaller vignette shows a boat floating on water, accompanied by text. The colours are muted, typical of Ukiyo-e prints, with a palette of blues, browns, and creams. The print is rich with detail, from the patterns on the woman's kimono to the texture of the wooden planks of the boat. Kuniyoshi's skill in capturing dynamic movement and emotional intensity is evident in this striking image.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
