DescriptionProvince of Wakasa: fishermen in boats seining sole (karei).--GookinThis design is dominated by the fishing boat and its large crew drawing in a large net of sole and crabs. Here, as in Tosa (No. 58 in series), the emphasis is on the famous products of local industry rather than on the place itself. --Swinton
