label: Description
content: Water was the main highway of transportation during this time. Three boats filled with people are traveling back and forth from shore to shore. Two bigger ships are shown in the background sailing downstream. A village is tucked at the edge of a forest with Mt. Fuji looming beyond in the distance. The foreground is neutral, with abstract lines suggesting a swamp with tall grasses.
