Mt. Fuji seen from Omiya

Mt.Fuji seen from Omiya (presently Fujinomiya). Omiya at that time had a population of more than a thousand households, and was called the front entrance to Mt.Fuji. The presence of many people including geisha holding umbrellas by the river indicates that it was a tourist spot. It was called Omiya because of the existence of Fuji Asama Shinto Shrine.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:Kusakabe Kinbei, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number4‐18‐0]
