駿河藤川
Fujikawa, Suruga Province
Beyond a wide stretch of water, a single thin line spans the gap between dark woods on either bank. Past it, a mountain with a rounded peak fades into haze.
About this photo
At each end of the gently sagging line stands a single post-like shape.
Caught between the bright water and the sky, the woods sink into black. The mountain is so pale that its outline blurs, and next to the deep tones of the nearby trees, it looks very far away.
The photo appears in Nihon Meisho Shashincho (Photographs of Famous Places in Japan), published in 1898, under the title "Fujikawa, Suruga." We could not confirm in official sources or dictionaries which river the "Fujikawa" in the title refers to, so we have written only about what the photo shows and the album's title.
