Photo by myself of the forest of Syousenkyo on Yamanashi prefecture.
I am glad of there being such nature in Japan.

On the end of last week, Hata3 and my partner went for a drive to Shousenkyo of Yamanashi prefecture. This is a photograph of the states of a river flowing through Shousenkyo.

The river passes through big rocks and stones rolling rumblingly and drifts. I tried that I photographed dynamism of the streamflow by an exposure for a long time.

Hata3 found the head of Mt. Fuji over the Tohmei turnpike on the way to my familiar park this morning. I don't know exactly why, but Mt. Fuji has been an object of worship as a sacred mountain from ancient times in Japan. When we see Mt. Fuji on a fine day from Tokyo, we feel very lucky even now.

The perfect shape of this mountain has long been celebrated in traditional verses such as haiku and tanka (waka), and many famous artists have depipcted the beatifull figure of this mountain. But that images might be a little banal in these days.
