label: Description
content: Here is a scene of travelers making their way from the east bank of the Oi River to the west bank. During heavy rains, travelers would have to wait until the river subsided. The hotels on either side would become very crowded. Once the water went down they could cross the river themselves or hire watermen to carry them or porters to float them across on a raft.
