CATALOGUE 30. At Sea off Kazuza, by Hokusai (Calza 2003).

This is the most detailed view of a bezaisen hull depicted in the woodblock prints. It clearly shows the removable goshaku section as well as a window into the cargo hold. The stempost has a typical bezaisen decoration at the tip. Rushes cover the aft deck house. Bands hold the mast timbers together.
