Kawabune (River Boat)
These ships were designed specifically for use on the Kadogawa River with its many rapids, using bow sweeps for added manoeuvrability.

The oars are 30’ long, and the bow sweep is 50’ long. The crooked-stern junks main stern sweep is 90’ long, and the side stern sweep is 50’ long. The main sweep is handled from a platform 25’ above the water.

LARGE SHIPS
Kamotsusen (Freighter)

However, the design does make it possible to beach the craft to facilitate the loading and unloading of troops. They are equipped with 2 masts as well as the paddlewheels.
