Salt Fields (A Page from an Album of Famous Places in Takehara)
A page that pairs a view of wide salt fields with a photo of the grave of their founder.
About this photo
On a single mount, a photo of salt fields stretching flat to the foot of the distant hills is paired with a photo of a grave backed by a stone wall. The grave photo shows a white stone base, a slender wooden post and shrubbery; unlike the open expanse of the salt fields, things crowd together in a tight space.
The salt-field photo is titled "Salt Fields," written with an older form of the character for salt, and the grave photo "Grave of Suzuki Shiroemon, Founder of the Salt Fields." After Takehara built tide-fed irihama salt fields, it flourished as a salt producer, alongside its existing coastal shipping and sake brewing. That wealth, it is said, went on to build the townscape that stands today.
