Source: Print and Picture Collection
Notes:
"From Numazu it is about three and a half mile to Hata, where the view of Mt. Fuji is virtually unobstructed. The mountain appears immense, and to emphasize it's height, Hiroshige allowed the peak to protrude from the frame of this picture, at the same time narrowing it in a fashion often employed by Hokusai."
from "The Fifty-Three Stages of the Tokaido by Hiroshige", Tokyo, Japan. Heibonsha Ltd., Publishers, 1960. plate 14

Station 14
Hara: Mount Fuji at Morn. Here again we see three travelers taking their slow way along the road - but this time, behind them, reards Mount Fuji, so high that it peierces the frame of the print. In the reeds behind the travelers are two cranes; though rare today, they were evidently plentiful in Hiroshige's time.
