FIGURE 145. Yatsumi Bridge, by Andō Hiroshige (Uspensky 2005:107).

Three boats near the merchant district. Two are fishing, but one is transporting goods, with a plank resting over the piles of cargo. Both fishing boats appear to be using the yotsude-ami (four-armed net), one in the water and one in the process of being pulled out. Construction details of the ships are not visible.
