CATALOGUE 170. Mouth of the Nakagawa River, by Andō Hiroshige (Uspensky 2005:157).
Three rivers meet at this point, and a number of different boats are shown. The foreground shows two passenger ferryboats, then three lumber rafts, and several fishing and cargo vessels. Both ferryboats have Samson post-like timbers in the bow, suggesting that they may be towed in other waterways. Construction details are mostly indistinct on the rest of the boats.
