CATALOGUE 29. Zeze Castle, Eight Scenes of Omi, by Shuntei (Kikuchi 1968).

A bezai-type vessel sails away from castle on Lake Biwa. The transom is somewhat unusual, as it has a chiri and yet is closed off with the rudder stock fully enclosed. It appears to be a closed stern with a U-shaped transom, though the rudder is visible. Bands hold the mast timbers together.
