Mount Fuji rises so tall that its snowy peak breaks through the top edge of the picture, its slopes faintly pink against a red band of morning sky, with a darker, jagged peak at its side. Below, two women in blue travelling clothes and a manservant carrying their boxes walk a path beside the rice fields, where a pair of cranes stand in the marsh. The print is number fourteen in the Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō, published by Hōeidō (Takenouchi Magohachi) in 1833–34. Hara, the thirteenth station, lay on the flat plain south of Fuji, and from here the mountain filled the view across the fields; impressions vary in colour and condition.
This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.
Where it works
A pale pink Fuji over cream fields, with blue-clad travellers and two cranes, for a living room, bedroom or study at 16×24 in natural wood. It pairs with Yoshiwara: Mount Fuji on the Left, the next station's view of the mountain.
