Description
A man sits beneath the curved, matted awning of a boat, smoking a long pipe as he leans against a support post; woven baskets or hats and other cargo are stacked at his feet, with a coiled rope hanging beside him. Beyond the boat's hull, flat water stretches toward a low range of hills rendered in soft blue-green, under a pale sky. The print is executed in muted tan, black, and green-grey tones on cream paper, with the artist's pencil signature "Kazuma Oda 1925" and two seal characters at lower right.
