"Retour de Bateaux à Gyotoku" (Returning Boats at Gyotoku) is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. Created during the Edo period, this print is part of Hiroshige's famous series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo," which was produced between 1856 and 1858. The series depicts various seasonal and atmospheric scenes of Edo (modern-day Tokyo) and its outskirts, showcasing Hiroshige's mastery of landscape and his unique ability to capture the essence of each location.

The print "Retour de Bateaux à Gyotoku" specifically illustrates the scene at Gyotoku, a fishing village located on the outskirts of Edo, near the mouth of the Edo River. It captures the tranquil moment of fishing boats returning to the village at dusk or dawn, with the soft light reflecting off the water and the silhouette of Mount Fuji in the distance. The composition is notable for its use of perspective, the delicate gradation of colors, and the reflection of the boats on the water's surface, which create a sense of depth and tranquility.

Hiroshige's work is characterized by his poetic approach to landscape and his innovative techniques in woodblock printing, which include the use of bokashi (color gradation) and the careful control of line work. "Retour de Bateaux à Gyotoku" exemplifies these qualities, making it a quintessential Hiroshige print that reflects the artist's enduring influence on both Japanese art and the development of Western impressionism.

As a part of "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo," this print not only serves as a historical record of the Edo period but also as an artistic representation of the Japanese aesthetic principle of wabi-sabi, which finds beauty in simplicity, impermanence, and the natural cycle of growth and decay. The series, including "Retour de Bateaux à Gyotoku," remains one of Hiroshige's most celebrated works and continues to be admired for its technical brilliance and evocative portrayal of the Japanese landscape.
