Description

A sailboat quietly drifts downstream, its hull completely obscured by reeds, while wild geese prepare to land in the background and cherry blossoms decorate the trees of a nearby village in this senjafuda group's take on the "Descending Geese" theme from "Eight Views" series.

We're not quite sure just yet which print of Hiroshige's this design was based on, or if it was based on a single print at all. It seems possible that the image was created by blending different Hiroshige designs (such as this image of a boat's hull obscured by reeds and this illustration of Mimeguri) together to produce a Hiroshige-esque illustration.
