Returning From Practice, titled Keiko-gaeri in Japanese, shows a figure heading home after a session of artistic or martial training. The word keiko encompasses a wide range of disciplined practices in Japanese culture, from tea ceremony to dance to swordsmanship. The print captures a transitional moment, the practitioner moving between the focused world of the training hall and ordinary life. Iwata's [oban](/glossary/oban) woodblock renders this in-between state, the subject still carrying the posture and energy of practice while the surrounding composition signals the everyday world they are re-entering.
