Description
A single-sail sailing vessel with a tall, ribbed dark sail rides low in the water beside two large log rafts made of stacked, bundled timber, their surfaces rendered with dense parallel lines. Two seated figures appear near the base of the sail, and low mountain ranges line the horizon under a sky streaked with wide horizontal bands. The palette is limited to sepia-brown line work against a warm cream ground, giving the whole scene a monochrome, sun-toned cast. Mokuhanga (Japanese woodblock) print by Kishio Koizumi, titled "Raft In Yoryoko River."
