The composition features a blue bonito (\u003cem\u003ekatsuo\u003c\/em\u003e) paired with delicate saxifrage (\u003cem\u003eyukinoshita\u003c\/em\u003e), combining natural observation with Hiroshige’s refined sense of design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe print also features accompanying kyōka poetry by members of a poetry circle.
