DescriptionThe image is a print featuring a water scene. A long bridge on the right extends to an island in the distance. In the foreground human figures are walking across a small bridge towards a building on the left. Long, thin boats are strewn throughout the water along with two large barges. In the center of the work on the horizon there is a swatch of lighter colored ink, speckled with reddish dots in order to give the appearance of fireworks. Japanese characters are located in the upper right corner of the work. On View
