Description: This print is from "Famous Places of the Province", published by Kaiseisha in 1981. It consists of 19 prints from two series by Katsushika Hokusai: 11 prints from "Famous Bridges in the Provinces" and 8 prints from "A Tour of Waterfalls". The prints are slightly larger than o-ban prints, giving them a more powerful impression.

Some travellers clamber up a steep slope to visit stone deities enshrined in a cave next to Kiyotaki Kannon Waterfall on the Tokaido route, while others arrive at the thatched huts below. Rivulets of water run through narrow crevices in the rockface, and a damp mist begins to encroach on the small village as night closes in.
