FUJI FROM KASHIWABARA - A Sepia Dream in Soft Colors
It's not April 1st anymore ? I guess that means I have to restore some order to the Japanese Universe after the devastation of my last post.
The above was taken at an oddly-lit time of day. The immediate foreground area seems to have been under some clouds, while distant Fuji-san is under a late-morning clearer sky.
Can you see the smoke rising in the distance on the far left ? Maybe a farmer is burning something, or perhaps they are making charcoal.
In any case, the effect is nice for the time of day. If any of your decide you want to re-blog the image, you are free to do your own brightness and contrast adjustments, or PhotoShop it into a whole new work of art.

♥ Photographed during the 1880s by Italian photographer ADOLFO FARSARI, catalog number D4.
The story of his time in Japan is certainly interesting. You can glean some of it HERE :

Note that a couple of photos shown on the Wiki page NOT his, but most of them appear to be.
Here's another couple of pics published by Farsari :

Many Japanese photographers also had their own take on the place over the decades. About 7 or 8 years after Farsari took the above photo, a Japanese photographer named T. ENAMI went down there and made his own version of the scene. As with other commercial photographers of the time, the concept and use of boats is very similar. The little reed islands in the background are different here and there :
