Hotsugawa Kudari — Drifting the Hotsu River — depicts the traditional boat trip down the Hozu River (Hozu-gawa) gorge in Kyoto Prefecture, one of the classic scenic excursions of the Kansai region. The Hozu gorge cuts through steep forested mountains northwest of Kyoto, and the river journey through its rapids has attracted tourists and pleasure-seekers since the Edo period. Nisaburo's print likely captures the dramatic relationship between the narrow, turbulent river, the towering gorge walls, and the small wooden boat carrying passengers through the scene.
