Kajikazawa in Kai Province

Waves strike violently and foam against a rock that juts out so far it might be taken for a sea cliff. At its tip, the fisherman grips the net rope and leans out, and a little behind him a child peers into a fish basket. The raging water contrasts with the unmoved figure of the fisherman.

With the fisherman at the apex, the projecting rock and the spreading net rope form a triangle that echoes the shape of the ridgeline of Fuji behind. Three scenes, the fishing father, the peering child, and Fuji looking down, move the viewer's eye through the picture. The first printing was in indigo alone and is regarded as an especially fine example among Katsushika Hokusai's ai-zuri prints. Later printings added more colors, and some have orange drawn between the clouds.

Near Kajikazawa, the Kamanashi and Fuefuki Rivers flowing through the Kofu Basin join to become the Fuji River. Kajikazawa, on the Fuji River, had a river landing and was a key point of water transport linking Kai and Shinano with Suruga Bay. The Yamanashi Prefectural Museum sees the picture as an image of the area near a gorge called Unose, south of Kajikazawa. The "ishibana" in the title is thought to be a mistaken writing for "ishibana-uo" (ugui, the dace).
