"Pushboats on the Yotsugi-dōri Canal" (original title: 四ツ木通用水引ふね) is a woodblock print by the Japanese painter and illustrator Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) produced in February 1857.
The Yotsugi-dōri Canal, east of Sumida-gawa, built in the 17th century to supply the city with clean water, dominates the composition. A sweeping curve in the water guides the eye toward the misty background. The blue of the water and the green of the banks contrast with the bright yellow of the path, along which several travelers pass. Although the canal is actually straight, Hiroshige gives it a curved effect to accentuate the perspective.
