A black and white landscape photograph of the Hozu River (Hozugawa) near Arashiyama in Kyoto. A covered, oar-powered boat carrying three people, its bow facing the camera, is visible in the centre of the image. Another figure, wearing a sunhat and carring fishing with a rod, can be seen in the background on the rocky riverbank on the right of the image. A rocky, forested hillside can be seen on the left of the image, rising up from the other bank. Some form of barrier toped with poles can be seen across the river in the background. Original caption (below the photograph, in ink): ‘Hodzu Rapids. Kyoto’.
