说明:Pilgrims and travellers on the Tokaido climb steps towards a mountain shrine dedicated to Kannon, the Boddhisatva of Compassion. At the summit, one pilgrim drops to his knees in prayer. Emerging from forested cliffs, a narrow stream trickles down the rock face, while below a cluster of thatched teahouses and wayside restaurants shelter visitors pausing to rest. The unusually clear waters here were popularly known as Kiyotaki, or the ‘pure waterfall’.1
