"Hitachi Shipbuilding and Engineering Co." is an unusual commission print within Bakufu's largely natural history and landscape output, likely produced as a promotional or commemorative piece for one of Japan's major industrial corporations. Hitachi Shipbuilding (now known as Hitachi Zosen) was a major force in Japan's postwar industrial reconstruction, building the vessels that enabled Japan's maritime trade. The commission suggests Bakufu's marine expertise and reputation made him a natural choice for an industrialist celebrating shipbuilding.
