FIGURE 143. Fuji Viewed from Coast of Tsukuda, from 36 Views of Mt. Fuji from the Eastern Capital, by Kuniyoshi (Kikuchi 1968).

A fishing vessel casts off a yotsude-ami (four-armed net) while two men on another boat watch. Two strakes have horizontal fastener coverings lining the top edge, an unusual configuration. There may be a rope coiled at the bow tip. A masted vessel sails behind the open net.
