The Circular Pine Trees were time-honored trees that had grown in Ryugon-temple(龍厳寺)precincts in Harajuku.

It is said that it had spread its branches to about as many as 5.6m.

Those who visited a shrine strolled in a vast garden in the temple, and appreciated this pine.

And, Fuji was drawn in the big triangle extremely pointed out, and it contrasted it with the pine.
