label copy: "hakone station no. 11 (series - 53 stations of tokaido road)hakone was an extremely hazardous mountain pass, and the long line of travelers hiking through the narrow gorge seems dwarfed by the rocky and dramatic peaks. Only the smooth slopes of mount fuji are rendered in white in the distant background. The masterful composition and creative use of color set this print apart as one of hiroshiges great accomplishments from his first t?kaid? series. "
label copy (spanish): "hakone era un paso montaoso sumamente peligroso y la larga fila de viajeros caminando a travs del angosto desfiladero queda empequeecida por las cimas rocosas y dramticas. Nicamente las cuestas lisas del monte fuji estn representadas en blanco en el fondo distante. La composicin magistral y el uso creativo del color distinguen a este grabado como uno de los grandes logros de hiroshige en su primera serie del t?kaid?. "
