Kuniyoshi heavily used Prussian blue in this work, which belongs to the genre of Ai-e (藍絵), or blue-printed pictures. This piece is from the series "Views of Famous Products of the Land and Sea" (山海名産画).

The image depicts three women divers harvesting large abalone, while several men swim toward tall, shrine-like rocks, which are connected by thick ropes and paper decorations, hang from the rope, indicates that it is a sacred area.
