CATALOGUE 6. Noboto Bay, from Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, by Katsushika Hokusai (Calza 2003).

The two vessels in the background are too small to reveal much construction detail, but the general shape (kenzaki-miyoshi stempost, lower dark strake, wing stern, and ro) and fisherman casting a net from the bow of the further vessel suggests that they are oshiokuri. In the foreground near the torii (gates to a Shinto shrine) others gather shellfish.
