Yashima Gakutei (1786–1868) was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist known for his woodblock prints. In traditional Japanese culture, turtles symbolize longevity, good fortune, and protection. Gakutei's prints often depicted scenes from daily life, landscapes, and animals, incorporating elements of humor and satire.
The "Turtles" series, like many ukiyo-e prints, would have been produced in multiple editions, with variations in color and detail. These prints were popular among the urban population of Edo (modern-day Tokyo) and were often collected and traded among art enthusiasts.
