CATALOGUE 156. A Bright Morning after a Fall of Snow by the Nihonbashi Bridge, by Andō Hiroshige (Uspensky 2005:19).

Fishing vessels bring in the morning catch to the market district near Nihonbashi, one of the most famous bridges in Edo. The two foremost boats have unstepped their masts. Flatter transport boats are moored alongside the market. Most of the boats have protective coverings of rushes over the deck. A single hiyoke-bune maneuvers amongst the cargo vessels.
