Description
The Roben waterfall on Oyama in Sagami Province — site of the celebrated Oyama (Afuri-jinja) mountain pilgrimage — appears in this print from the Shokoku Taki-meguri (Tour of Waterfalls) series. Oyama was one of Edo's most popular pilgrimage destinations, a steep volcanic mountain whose waterfall-fed streams carried the combined holiness of water, mountain, and ascetic religious practice.
