Flowers of a Hundred Worlds (Momoyogusa): Tugging Boats (Hikibune)
The image depicts a traditional Japanese woodblock print. Three men wearing conical straw hats and brown robes pull on ropes. The man at the top wears a white undergarment and is barefoot; his robe billows behind him. The centrally framed man also wears a white undergarment and is barefoot; his blue hat billows in the wind. The man at the bottom right appears to be kneeling and wears a white undergarment. The background shows a gray sky. A dark line demarcates a cliff face on the left; water is below. The composition is dynamic, with figures and lines moving diagonally.
