Description: The Tama River ran along the western border of Edo, while the Sumida River flowed through the east side of the city. The Tama tended to evoke poetic associations, such as with the desolate Musashino moor and the autumnal moon.

The Tama River has played an important role in many designs by Ando Hiroshige. In this design, he shows fishermen along different areas of the river. Although most of them seem like hard-working men or women, there is also a young boy who proudly shows a man the fish he has just caught.
