Woodblock print, "Hakone" by Utagawa Hiroshige. A group of five men carry a boat up a rocky slope on long wooden poles. The man at the front wears a blue and white checkered robe and a conical straw hat; he faces right, toward the boat. Three men behind him wear blue head coverings and robes. The man furthest back on the left holds a torch. A large pine tree dominates the right side. The background is dark and ominous with smoke rising from the torch. A mountain peak is visible in the distance. Two vertical red banners with Japanese characters appear on either side.
