山かゐま, Yama-kaima is the original listing. Nakajima also gives us a more modern kana, やまかいま, where い (i) replaces the historical and now archaic ゐ (wi). The kana probably means 垣間, lit. crack or crevice, but metaphorically "a glimpse," Combining all this lets us translate to "Mountain Glimpse", suggesting a sudden view of the mountainous horizon that quickly fades into haze.
