CATALOGUE 137. Lake Suwa in Shinano Province, by Katsushika Hokusai (Calza 2003).
This is a rare image of a log canoe, sailing from shore to the castle on far shore. The wood grain on the stern indicates that it is likely a single piece of wood that has been hewn out. It appears that the bark has been left on the sides of the ship. There do seem to be some form of deck beams in the interior.
