CATALOGUE 71. Kuwana, by Andō Hiroshige (Andō 1965).

Kuwana was an area along Ise Bay known for broiled clams. The boats in the foreground might be fishing vessels, as they are too small and lack the lattice railing of a bezai-sen. Though the size is similar to a takase, the bow is not in the takase style. The stempost does not protrude above the hull but instead the strakes are fitted into the post itself. Also unusual is the depiction of reefing the sails, since most prints show the ships either already in full sail or moored.
