CATALOGUE 32. Fine Breezy Day at Shibaura, Eight Scenes in the Suburbs of Edo, by Hiroshige (Kikuchi 1968).
The sterns of two moored bezai-sen, distinguishable by the lattice railing, are visible here. One rudder is shipped while the other remains in the water. The planking of the stern is separate from that of the hull of the vessel, and the further ship shows the planking patterns of the underside of the stern. Bands hold the mast timbers together. Rushes cover the deck house.
