A barge making its way along the Canal de Damme outside Bruges — one of the flat-bottomed working vessels that were the commercial lifeblood of the Low Countries' extensive canal networks. Urushibara, working with Brangwyn around 1919, brought Japanese woodblock technique to this quintessentially Flemish subject, rendering the wide, reed-fringed canal, the heavy sky, and the laden barge with a sensitivity to tone and atmosphere that reflects both his Japanese training and his European immersion.
