Mt. Fuji seen from a bridge on the Tokaido Road

Northern view of Mt. Fuji from Kawai Bridge in Suzukawa, Fuji City. The bridge crosses Numa River on the Tokaido Highway. Pine trees are growing on the west side of the bridge. Huts with thatched roofs stand on the east side, which serves as a harbor. The absence of carriage tracks on the bridge indicates that this photograph was taken before 1891.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:A.

Kawai Bridge lies between the two tall pine trees on the left and the thatched-roof house. Rice paddies stretch between the dune and the highway. The presence of train tracks indicate that this photograph was taken after the opening of the Tokaido Line in 1890.==Date:unknown, Place:Shizuoka, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number79‐17‐0]
