Description

A fisherman on a boat is pulling a fishing net. The straw skirt he wears is a common item to protect from water and other dirt.

Harunobu depicted the flock of birds in a very interesting way; each bird is drawn differently, with varying angles of necks, bodies, and flapping wings. They are not hurrying to a destination at all but flying in a relaxed mood.

This image conveys a very peaceful rural scene.
