Gathering Shells at Low Tide at Susaki; from the series 100 Views of Famous Places in Edo
The image depicts a long, narrow Japanese woodblock print. A beige background fades to a reddish hue at the top. The top third of the image features vertical black Japanese text. A small red seal with white Japanese characters is on the left. The bottom two-thirds shows a body of water with a steep, rocky shoreline on the left. The shoreline has horizontal lines representing texture. In the water, several people are gathered. They wear red and blue clothing and appear to be wading and bending over. On the left side of the image, there are buildings on a small peninsula extending into the water. The buildings are mostly red with gray roofs. Behind the buildings, there are dark trees and a gray sky. The water is blue and becomes darker towards the bottom.
