label: Description
content: Two fishing villages, Nekozane on the right side of the river and Horie on the left were both known for shellfish. The river, known as Border River (Sakaigawa) has two bridges, the closer one is named Border Bridge (sakiabashi). In 1889 the two villages merged under the name “Urayasu” which translates to “safe harbor.” Today the southern tip is where Toyko Disneyland is located. The foreground shows a cluster of plovers (daizen) and the background shows Mt. Fuji coming out of low clouds and a red sky.
