It depicts a woman carrying buckets of seawater, set against a stylised seascape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eUtagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861) was a prominent Japanese ukiyo-e artist of the Edo period. He is celebrated for his dynamic and imaginative prints, particularly those depicting historical and mythical subjects. Kuniyoshi's work often features bold compositions, expressive figures, and a distinctive use of colour. He was a master of the ukiyo-e tradition, which focused on capturing scenes from everyday life, popular culture, and the natural world. \n\n'Girl Filling a Bucket with Sea Water' exemplifies Kuniyoshi's skill in portraying human figures within detailed settings. The print shows a young woman, identified by the inscription as part of a series on female figures from the Suikoden (Water Margin) stories, carrying buckets of seawater. She is dressed in patterned clothing and a distinctive head covering. The composition includes text panels with calligraphy, typical of ukiyo-e prints, which add layers of meaning and context to the image. The background depicts a stylised seascape, rendered with fine lines and subtle gradations of colour.\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=\"\/products\/lantern-float-kitagawa-utamaro\" 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;\"\u003eLantern Float - Kitagawa Utamaro — Kitagawa Utamaro\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/evening-snow-at-uchikawa-utagawa-hiroshige\" 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;\"\u003eEvening Snow at Uchikawa - Utagawa Hiroshige — Utagawa Hiroshige\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Utagawa Kuniyoshi","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57869971816783,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57869982204239,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57869982237007,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/girl-filling-a-bucket-with-sea-water-utagawa-kuniyoshi","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
