The upper part was made of rosewood-like material covered in red varnish, and the lower part is covered with copper plates, apparently for protection against sharp pitfalls. At the top of the ship was a few windows made of glass or some kind of crystals, which were coated with something like wood tar. Meanwhile the windows were transparent enough for fishermen to peek inside. The inner part of Utsuro-bune (as the fishermen called the mysterious the ship) was decorated with inscriptions in an unfamiliar language.

And then the fishermen saw the mistress of the ship – a beautiful girl of about 18 or 20 years old. The girl had red hair and eyebrows, and her hair was artificially lengthened with some white threads. Her clothes were long, made of very beautiful material, which fishermen had never seen before.
