The sheltered bay of Taganoura near Ejiri on the Tokaido highway offers a wide-angle view of the sea with fishing boats and Fuji's distinctive profile visible above the water in this print from the Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. The calm bay was prized as a viewpoint where the mountain could be seen reflected in still water, its perfectly symmetric double presence below and above the horizon line.
