At the top, a poem by Minamoto no Sanetomo: As I cross the Hakone Road, the Sea of Izu opens up before me; offshore, I see the waves coming to crash against the small islands Woodblock print Signed: “Ipposai Yoshifuji ga” on the left-hand page Period: Edo (circa 1840–1860) Dimensions: 15 x 20.5 cm.
