A traditional sailing boat glides towards the harbour at dusk, passing a towering stone lantern. The scene captures the tranquil waters of Lake Biwa at Yabase, a historic port on the eastern shore famously celebrated in classical Japanese art and poetry. This 20th century rendition by Koitsu is an early pre-war printing, as indicated by the Watanabe publisher's "C seal" on the right margin.
