About the piece
Created in 1895 by Yamamoto Hōsui, this striking work is a premier example of Yōga, or Western-style Japanese painting. It illustrates the classic folk legend of Urashima Tarō, shown here as a noble figure riding a massive sea turtle through a turbulent sea, escorted by the ethereal attendants of the sea princess Otohime under a brooding, atmospheric sky.
