Description
A two-masted wooden sailboat with a furled sail rests grounded on a rocky, dark stone jetty beside a narrow wooden plank walkway, with calm blue water and a low pale shoreline in the distance under a soft grey-white sky. The composition is dominated by muted blues and greys, with the brown hull and rigging of the boat as the central focal point. A woodblock print by Kawase Hasui titled "Stone Carrying Boat, Awa" (石積む舟).
