In the scene there are three oshiokuri-bune, fast boats that are used to transport live fish from the Izu and Boso peninsulas to the markets of the bay of Edo. The sea dominates the composition as an extending wave about to break. In the moment captured in this image, the wave forms a circle around the center of the design.
