CATALOGUE 136. Yodogawa, by Katsushika Hokusai (Forrer 1991).
A number of boats approach the castle on Yodogawa. Three are being towed upriver by groups of men. The bows of the two sanjūkoku-bune in the foreground are wide and flat, allowing the crewmen to stand on it to pole the boat. A rush-covered deck house is present on the sanjūkoku-bune and the towed boats.
