A Fisherman is Struggling amid the Rocks and Currents of an Inlet of the Sea
A woodblock print depicting a rocky coastline. A man in a small boat struggles to navigate through turbulent blue and white waves crashing against dark blue and gray rocks. The man wears a conical hat and faces left, pulling on a rope. In the background, a green mountain rises on the right, with another mountain visible on the left. The sky above is beige with blue streaks and a white moon. A column of black Japanese text and two red seals are at the top left. A blue border surrounds the image on a beige background. A circular black seal and some Japanese characters are in the bottom-right corner.
