Description: In this woodblock print is the image of a small seaside village, where fishermen are busily working.  You can see two men lighting a fire under an upturned boat. This is done to burn off clinging barnacles and prevent the wood from rotting.

If you look closely at the sky above Mount Fuji you will notice a strange object floating there. What could this be, a kite? A fly-away hat? Or maybe even a UFO? Your guess is as good as ours ...

This particular print is a post-war reproduction by the Takamizawa Company.


There are slight spots at the top left corner.
