A woodblock print by Kitagawa Utamaro, titled *Girls Getting on Board a Boat*, from the illustrated book *Flowers of the Four Seasons*. This Ukiyo-e artwork captures a scene of women boarding a boat, showcasing the elegance and everyday life of the Edo period.
This woodblock print by Kitagawa Utamaro (1753-1806) depicts a scene of women boarding a boat. The artwork is from the illustrated book *Flowers of the Four Seasons*, and exemplifies Utamaro's skill in capturing the elegance and everyday life of women in the Edo period. Utamaro was a leading printmaker of the Ukiyo-e movement. He is particularly known for his portraits of beautiful women (*bijin-ga*). The composition shows three women in various stages of boarding a covered boat. One woman, dressed in a patterned kimono with a wide obi, carefully steps onto the boat. Another woman is already seated inside, while a third kneels, holding a stack of red bowls or dishes. The setting includes architectural elements and a suggestion of a stone embankment in the background, rendered with fine lines and subtle colour variations typical of Ukiyo-e prints. The print showcases Utamaro's attention to detail in depicting clothing, hairstyles, and facial expressions, conveying a sense of grace and refinement.

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.
