    An interesting composition of a pleasure boat as it is passing from sight but we still catch a small glimpse of the geisha whose beauty remains a mystery. Cherry blossoms scattered all around the print suggest that it is spring but also symbolises the transience of the geisha's beauty, that, like all things will eventually pass.

    Utagawa Hiroshige or Ando Hiroshige (1797-1858) was a Japanese artist during the 19th century and is considered the last great master of the ukiyo-e movement. His approach was more poetic and ambient than the typical ukiyo-e style, and his innovative compositions were a great influence to Western painters, such as Vincent van Gogh. The term ukiyo-e translates to "pictures of the floating world" and refers to a genre of Japanese art with a wide span of imagery such as kabuki actors, folk tales, landscapes, and even erotica. This movement was critical in forming the Western perception of Japanese art.
