About This Print
The artist's rendering of Tachimachi Cape in Hakodate, Hokkaido. The cape sits at the southeastern end of Mount Hakodate and overlooks the Tsugaru channel. Late in the eighteenth century the shogunate built a fort there which is now only noted with a marker. It is known for its wildflowers and its views.It appears that Masao did three different printings of this view, as shown below.
