Mt. Fuji in the morning seen from Lake Ashi

This is Mt. Fuji as veiwed from Moto-Hakone by Lake Ashinoko. The dark forest on the right is Hakone Shrine precincts. This site was called Hakone Gongen before the Japanese government instituted a policy in 1868 separating Buddhism and Shinto. The name Hakone Gongen appears in many ancient tales such as the Tale of The Soga written in the Kamakura Period. The mountain on the left is the foot of Mt. Mikuni, one of the outer moutain range of Hakone. This scene of Mt. Fuji behind the lake and the mountains is famous.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐44‐0]
