where I saw how white it is, on the lofty peak of Mt. Fuji has it snowed."

"Thirty-six Views of Fuji ; Suruga-Satta-no-Kaijo" by ANDO Hiroshige.
Let's compare the current scenery with the Ukiyoe print.

The view from here is composed of three pieces of scenery, as Mt. Fuji, Miho-no-matsubara Pines-shore and Seikenji temple.

"With the scattered shower with mist, Mt. Fuji cannot be seen today,
though I am at the finest place for Fuji-viewing right now.
It would also be a good fun such a day!"

"Taikan himself said that the best form of Mt.Fuji is the Fuji seen from Mt. Daruma, Izu area" (described by HOSONO Masanobu)

Once at the western shore of Izu, ...... Climbing up to the pass soon,
standing there and looking back casually, I saw a wonderful view of Fuji.

It was from the very Mt. Amagi that Mt. Fuji can be seen from a distance just fit for the nice view.

　The only Mt. Fuji seen from Jukkoku pass soared high. That was good. .......

"Unfortunately, Mt. Fuji cannot be seen today with the mist, but it will
clear up in a few hours, then you can see the clear Mt. Fuji just there."

Used for the figure of the reverse of paper money for both old 5000 yen & new 1000 yen.

Hanamizu-zaka is also one of "3 Fuji-viewing spots" with Misaka pass.

Kohtaro(poet) said, "There are many places for nice Fuji-viewing spots.
Frequently have I ever seen beautiful pieces of scenery of Fuji in my life,
but this is for the first time for me to look up at such the greatest Mt. Fuji."

Stone tablet inscribed with a haiku
"Streaming in the wind, cloud of Mt. Fuji is vanishing awayin the sky,
I don't know where they will go, neither do I know where my heart will go."

Let's compare this picture with Ukiyoe prints by KATSUSHIKA Hokusai & ANDOH Hiroshige.

When I took a distant view over a field of clouds at dawn, .....I saw two mountains surmount the clouds. One was Mt. Fuji, and ....

After cold winter wind finished blwing, when I saw Fuji in the sky dyed deep vermeil by evening glow, ......
