CATALOGUE 14. Maisaka, by Hiroshige (Ando; 1965).

At the mouth of Lake Hamana, Maisaka was said to be unlucky for betrothed women travelers. Few construction details are visible save for the sails and masts at the right foreground. The angled bow of the smaller, stylized vessels in the background may suggest that these are oshiokuri boats.
