遠江濱松海岸
Seacoast of Hamamatsu, Totomi Province
A single tall, dark mass juts up from the water into the sky. Between the dark water and the bright sky, it stands all on its own.
About this photo
A tall, dark mass juts up from the water into the sky, right of center. It narrows as it rises, and its top is slightly rounded. On the left, a low, dark, uneven line of shore or rocks runs sideways, the foreground is dark water, and the upper half or so is bright sky with patchy clouds.
Printed below the photo is "遠江濱松海岸" (Seacoast of Hamamatsu, Totomi Province), with the English caption "SEA-COAST OF HAMAMATSU." It is one of the photos in Nihon Meisho Shashincho (Photographs of Famous Places in Japan), published in 1898.
Directly below the mass, the water sinks into black at nearly the same width. The shape seems to carry on through the water down to the bottom edge, which makes it look even taller. We could not confirm in official sources or dictionaries which part of the coast this is, so we have written only about what the photo shows and the album's title.
