color prints (photographs)

Japan; Mount Fuji

This print shows a view of Mt. Fuji from Otome Pass at the border of Shizuoka and Kanagawa Prefectures, facing west. Otome Pass is part of the road to Gotenba, Shizuoka Prefecture via Sengokubara (Kanagawa) and Hakone. It has been famous since ancient times for its spectacular view of Mt. Fuji. This photograph taken at the top of the pass shows a woman in a palanquin, with the bearers on both sides. The photographer has labeled the print, "307 Fuji from Otometoke." Turner has added the inscription, "Fujiyama or Fujisan-Fuji Mt. Height 12,400 ft." The porter to the left wears a jacket that reads "Fujiya Hotel."
