Robe-Hanging Pine, Senzoku Pond, No. 110 from One Hundred Famous Views of Edo

The Robe-Hanging Pine of the title, which we see at the tip of a small spit of land jutting into Senzoku Pond, still survives. Legend associates it with the great medieval Buddhist leader Nichiren, who supposedly stopped by the pond to rest and used the tree to hang his kesa, a sashlike garment worn by Buddhist priests.
