Series; Eight Views of Yokohama in Bushu
Returning Sails at the Wharves, 1861 - Fantastic portrait of an American couple standing on the pier in Yokohama, watching as a steamship sails into the harbor. The woman wears a short red jacket and a full gray hoop skirt, her head topped with an unusual headdress with long green feathers, reminiscent of Native American headdresses. The man wears a black button front military jacket with red patches and gold trim on the shoulder, and a black hat with a gold insignia on the front. Smoke billows across the sky from the ship, and a few white sails dot the horizon at right. A terrific Yokohama design with wonderful detail and attractive color.
