FIGURE 45. Scene at Takanawa, Famous Spots in Edo, by Keisai Eisen (Kikuchi 1968).

A group of vessels that seem to have the protruding walkway characteristic of the godairiki sails near Mount Fuji. All show the sails made from multiple pieces of cloth. The stempost seems to be decorated. There does not appear to be any kind of deck house; instead the ship is piled high with cargo.
