CATALOGUE 139. Gohonmatsu Pine on Onagigawa Canal, by Andō Hiroshige (Uspensky 2005:211).

Hiroshige intentionally curved the river to show other landscape features; the actual river is straight (Uspensky 2005:210). The passenger ferry is being poled through the water, and clearly shows the blunt, wide bow that lets passengers step onto the ship from shore.
