. This stunning woodblock print by Ippitsusai Buncho takes us on a visual journey back to 18th century Japan during the Edo period.

In this tranquil setting, we see women gracefully kneeling on balconies overlooking the water, their vibrant kimonos adding splashes of color to the composition. One woman is using a telescope, perhaps observing boats passing by in the distance.
