Advent of Urashima at the Dragon Palace

Katsushika Hokusai’s Advent of Urashima at the Dragon Palace, created in 1803, transports the viewer into the legendary underwater realm of the Dragon Palace, where fisherman Urashima Tarō receives an elaborate ceremonial welcome. Hokusai surrounds the visitor with graceful courtiers in richly patterned robes, ornate pillars and sweeping architectural forms, using brilliant reds, blues and greens to give the scene an almost jewel-like intensity. Beyond the palace, softly coloured water and distant mountains enhance the sense of entering another world.
