Rustic Genji's Poetry Contest: Mitsuuji's Excursion to the Seaside to See Abalone Diving (Inaka Genji shikishi awase, Mitsuuji umibe ni te awabi o torase yūran no zu)
A Japanese woodblock print depicts a scene of men diving for abalone. Three men are in the water. The man in the foreground on the bottom left leans on his hands on the surface of the water with his body mostly submerged. Two men wearing topknots and beards are to his right. The man on the right wears a red top; his topknot and right leg are above the water. The man on the left does not wear a top. Two boats are in the background. One boat with three people is on the top center; one boat with people is on the top left. There are two vertically oriented rectangles with Asian writing in the top-left and bottom-right corners. A red line crosses the top horizontally with Asian writing on two rectangles above it.
