"Matsukaze and Murasame Gathering" is a renowned woodblock print by the prolific Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798–1861). This print is part of Kuniyoshi's oeuvre, which is celebrated for its dynamic composition, vivid characterization, and innovative use of color and form. The artwork depicts the legendary figures Matsukaze and Murasame, who are often featured in Japanese Noh and Kabuki theater as the spirits of two sisters who were once salt-gatherers.

In the print, Kuniyoshi captures the ethereal and sorrowful essence of the sisters, who are bound to the mortal world by their unfulfilled love for the courtier Ariwara no Yukihira. The artist's portrayal is imbued with a sense of melancholy and poetic beauty, reflecting the themes of love and longing that are central to the story of Matsukaze (Pine Wind) and Murasame (Autumn Rain).

Kuniyoshi's work is characterized by his masterful line work and attention to detail, which are evident in the intricate patterns of the sisters' kimonos and the expressive depiction of their faces. The background of the print typically features elements that evoke the coastal setting where the sisters lived and worked, further enhancing the narrative quality of the piece.

As a key figure in the late Edo period, Kuniyoshi's contributions to the ukiyo-e genre have been widely studied and appreciated. "Matsukaze and Murasame Gathering" is considered an important work within his portfolio, exemplifying his skill in translating popular cultural and literary themes into visually compelling imagery. The print remains an object of study for scholars of Japanese art and culture, as well as a beloved piece among collectors and enthusiasts of ukiyo-e prints.
