This print shows a river with two small boats. People in the boats wear hats and robes. One boat has a pile of straw or bundles. Trees line the shore, and a few buildings peek through the branches. The sky is a smooth blue, while the water is a deeper blue with tiny waves. A lone boat sails far off in the distance. The scene looks calm and everyday. Look up Utagawa Hiroshige to see more prints like this.
