Comments - Fantastic depiction of travelers crossing the Oi River, the water crowded with porters carrying customers across the wide waterway. Several beauties ride sitting atop platforms, while at right, a woman reclines in a palanquin. Just below, a beauty sits precariously on the shoulders of a porter, clinging to his headband as he grips her legs in front of him. The snow-capped peak of Mt. Fuji rises above the opposite shore, and a red glow spreads along the horizon from the setting sun. A terrific image full of activity and interesting detail, attractively colored, with soft shading in the sky and water.
