junk ship
. This is a hybrid Chinese ship, it showed influence of western ships such as bowsprit, bowsprit sail, and topsail. The print itself is made in the year 1759 (during the era of Qing Dynasty). There are several versions of this image published in different works, the earliest being in

The ship is likely "Ship of the seal" [Chinese: fēngzhōu 封舟, Japanese: hōbune ほぶね or hansen 帆船, seal ship]; in the Ryukyu Kingdom, they were called “crown ships” [Japanese: kansen/okansen 御冠船; Okinawan: kwanshin/ukwanshin おかんせん] for the crowns of leather they once carried to the old kings of Chūzan.
