About the piece

Created in 1897 by Kuroda Seiki, this masterpiece of the Yōga movement captures a moment of quiet contemplation by Lake Ashi in Hakone. The subject, the artist's future wife, is depicted in a blue-striped yukata that harmonizes with the gentle ripples of the water, showcasing a perfect blend of Japanese subject matter and Western Impressionist technique.
