Underneath, far below and very small, a teahouse, a pine, the roofs of the Tekona shrine and a strip of water. The eye is put where a person standing under the tree would have it — a piece of framing so modern it looks like a photograph taken by accident.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHiroshige made it around 1857 for \u003cem\u003eOne Hundred Famous Views of Edo\u003c\/em\u003e, his last great series. Mama, in what is now Chiba, was a half-day trip from the city and famous for its autumn colour.
