Description:Fall arrives at Mama with russet maple leaves framing a magnificent view of the river valley with mountains beyond 'Although Mama was over ten miles east of central Edo, the beauty of its autumn maples was so famous that it was worth the trip. In earlier times, its fame centered on a particular tree of great size. Though only the stump remained in Hiroshige's day, he may possibly be alluding to that tree in his use of a single large forked trunk to frame the view.' Brooklyn Museum
