The boat in the centre carries one of Japan’s powerful lords (daimyō). It has hangings
marked with circular symbols, the lord’s family crest.
Daimyō and their followers had to make regular trips to the capital city, Edo (now called Tokyo), to show their allegiance to the military dictator (Shōgun).
