Mt. Fuji seen from the Otome Pass

Mt. Fuji viewed 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. During the Edo Period, travel restrictions were enforced and people were not allowed to pass. This photograph taken at the top of the pass shows a woman in a palanquin, with the bearers on both sides.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number93‐1‐0]

        Mt. Fuji seen from the Fuji River

        Northeastern view of the snow-capped peak of Mt. Fuji, taken from the bank of Fuji River in Iwabuchi, Fujikawa-machi. The mountain on the left is Mt. Iwamoto, and the tree line reaches to the forest of Matsuoka Sui Shinto Shrine (Fuji City) on the left. Two men are at the riverside, and Fujigawa Bridge, which crosses from the south of the shrine to Iwabuchi, is visible. This bridge was washed away many times from the beginning of the Meiji Period. It is difficult to determine exactly when this photograph was taken.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number86‐5‐0]

          This may be a shitekago because the straw curtain seems to be rolled up. This kind of palanquin was made simply of four bamboo poles and braided bamboo sticks with straw curtain attached. The palanquin bearers had no set uniforms but carried ikizue (breath sticks) to regulate breathing. ==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number88‐47‐0]

            A woman in a basket palanquin

            Palanquin carriers dressed in various attire but always held a cane. This cane is called ikizue and was used to rest. When it rained, palanquin carriers wore hats and straw coats, but in the case of a yamakago as in the photograph, there was nothing more than a simple roof, so the passenger must have gotten wet.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:Kusakabe Kinbei, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number1‐11‐0]
