Umegawa Hokusai Japanese Fine Art Postcard

Sagami was an old province of Japan. It occupied most of the area that is today Kanagawa Prefecture, but present-day Yokohama and Kawasaki, now part of Kanagawa Prefecture, were not in Sagami. Sagami bordered on Izu, Kai, Musashi and Suruga provinces. The ancient capital of the province was located near modern Hiratsuka. During the Sengoku Period, Sagami's chief castle was at Odawara, although it was generally ruled from its larger neighbour Musashi. This is 31 of the 36 views. The series depicts Mount Fuji in different seasons and weather conditions from a variety of different places and distances. This is a view from a river, with cranes flying and wading in the water. Umegawa means Plum River. I don’t know what the river is called now.
