Description
The Fujisawa station view — looking across the flat coastal plain of Sagami Province toward the distant landmarks of the route — appears in this print from Sekino's Fifty-three Stages series. Fujisawa's station prints across multiple artists' Tokaido series often emphasize the Enoshima pilgrimage route that branched off here, or the long straight road bordered by the susuki grass the region was known for.
