CATALOGUE 58. Fuji seen through Piers of Mannenbashi, by Katsushika Hokusai (Forrer 1991).

A fisherman with a rod sits in the right foreground while several boats pass underneath the large arch bridge. One is piled high with cargo with a plank laid atop it for the crew to traverse the ship when poling. The stern is constructed similar to blunt-end ferryboats that can be pulled onshore easily.
