Created by Chikanobu Toyohara, a renowned Japanese artist, this exquisite artwork measures 36.1 x 24.2 cm and is housed in the prestigious Arthur M. Sackler Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. In this mesmerizing scene, we witness a serene moment amidst military turmoil. Against a backdrop of billowing smoke and war-torn ships, geese gracefully soar through the air towards their home port. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring life to every element of this composition. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by brave sailors and soldiers during times of conflict. It symbolizes hope and resilience as these geese return safely to their sanctuary despite chaos surrounding them.
