CATALOGUE 38. Kanagawa, by Hiroshige (Andō 1965).
The checkpoint area faces the ocean, where several larger ships and some smaller fishing vessels are moored. A smaller lighter-like craft is pulling close to the bezaisen at anchor. The stern does not appear to have a chiri, though the additional lack of construction features on the rudder may simply suggest the artist’s abbreviation of detail in this print.
