CATALOGUE 17. Tone River in Shimosa Province, by Katsushika Hokusai (Calza 2003).

These two images are a fully printed and a preliminary print of the same scene. A fisherman casts a yotsude-ami (four-armed net) from his boat while tied to mooring poles. The two poles are off the forward port side and the aft starboard side, with ropes tied to a forward deck beam and to one of the midships deck beams (not protruding). Similar to Cat. 19, Fuji Behind a Net, and the background figure in Cat. 149, Fuji in the Evening Sun at Shimadagahana.
