CATALOGUE 106. Under a Bridge, by Utamaro (Kikuchi 1968).
Three pleasure boats (one hiyoke-bune, two indistinct) gather under an unnamed bridge. The view also shows construction details of the bridge piers. A man poles the leftmost boat. All three boats show a gunwale, but only the center, largest boat shows deck beam fastener coverings along the gunwale as well. The two bows that are visible show minimally decorated stemposts. The rightmost boat has a rope tied to a deck beam in the bow.
