CATALOGUE 155. Minato-jinja Shrine and Inaribashi Bridge at Teppozu, by Andō Hiroshige (Uspensky 2005:171).
This print shows a view of Mount Fuji and the warehouse district through the mast tops of other vessels. It provides a clear view of the mast construction, showing the bands that join the individual mast timbers and the angled mast tip for the rigging connections. In the background are a number of shipping vessels, transporting what appears to be tea and possibly rice. A hiyoke-bune also maneuvers between the cargo boats.
