Not on view

Mount Fuji is enclosed by old pine trees that were planted along the highway as shade and shelter for the travelers. The location of this scene is probably the Gondazaka and Shinanozaka, hills that border the Musashi and Sagami provinces. Palanquin bearers at the left are resting after having crossed the hill. The trappings of the horse carry the trademark of the publisher and the character ju from the publisher's name of Eijudo.
