Ukiyo-e Jigsaw Puzzle (252, 520-piece) : Returning Sails at Yabase by Utagawa Hirishige

Step into the serene waterscape of Lake Biwa, beautifully depicted by Utagawa Hiroshige in the poetic masterpiece — “Returning Sails at Yabase” from the iconic Ōmi Hakkei (Eight Views of Ōmi) series.

Soft evening light spreads across the lake as the fishermen and merchants return home with their sails lowered, drifting peacefully toward the quiet harbor. The silhouette of Mount Hiei watches over the scene like a silent guardian, while the pastel sky transitions from gold to blue — a harmony of nature and human life in perfect balance.

This ukiyo-e treasure is admired worldwide for its delicate brushwork and tranquil atmosphere — now reborn as a premium puzzle that invites you to slow down and assemble Japan’s timeless beauty piece by piece.
