Fuji in summer, seen from the cape of Izu. The deep, clear blue sea Unfolds quietly, and behind it, the figure of Fuji appears as if floating above the clouds. It's like a lone god standing between the sky and the sea. The clouds gently envelop the base, and only the peaks shine quietly in the sunlight. The cliffs and reefs in front of you do not move, as if time has stopped, quietly speaking of the grandeur of Nature. The sky is endlessly blue, the clouds stream slowly, and there is a moment when the earth, sky and sea merge into one. There was no sign of people, no sound. Only the wind, the waves, and the presence of Fuji in the distance speak to my heart. This scenery is so beautiful that you will forget your words. An eternal moment where the desire to burn it into the eye and the desire to see it all the time intersect.

When the Sunrise begins to quietly illuminate Fuji, the city is still enveloped in a drowsy atmosphere. A corner of a small town near Lake Kawaguchi. Through the signboard of a convenience store and the roof of an old building, the majestic figure of Fuji appears. The soft light from the eastern sky paints the snowy slopes in gold, as if the whole mountain is slowly waking up. "Sunshine Gold Mountain" – the very moment. The art of silence and light is condensed into this moment. In the foreground, a traveler stares at the scene. Impression and respect are conveyed from his back, which he just looks up without exchanging words. An extraordinary beauty that is right Soba the everyday. The moment when you stand on that boundary fills your heart deeply.
