Description
Fujikawa's "mountain village" (yama-naka no sato) appears in a print from the "Famous Sights of Fifty-three Stations" series, showing the rural hamlet at the edge of the Tokaido as it begins its climb toward the mountain passes. The image emphasizes the agricultural and domestic character of this inland station, where farming villages clustered in the valleys between the great post-towns of the highway.
