Because these were not printed in the massive quantities of his landscape subjects, fewer have survived. Typically printed in long, narrow formats and accompanied by haiku or kyōka poems, they benefited from advancements that enabled the application of richer palettes and use of gradients to aid in the representation of texture, perspective and atmospheric effects. The poem that accompanies Mallard and Snow-covered Reeds reads as follows: "A duck quacks— / as the wind wrinkles / the face of the water."
