A canvas by a Ukrainian artist, which depicts Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan with a height of 3,776 meters, which is an active stratovolcano and a symbol of beauty and spirituality. Located about 100 kilometers southwest of Tokyo on the island of Honshu, it has inspired countless artists and poets throughout history. In 2013, it was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Also, Fuji is revered as a place of worship in Shintoism and Buddhism. It is said that it is protected by the female deity Konohanasakuya-hime.
This peak has often become the central object of many works, not only Japanese. All because of its greatness and monumentality, from which emanates holiness and a certain mysticism. However, this picture depicts it from a completely different side. The author used pure and bright colors, so we see a sunny day, the vast blue of the sky and a peak that reaches up to it. And the trees, which are in the lower part of the picture, only emphasize the greatness of Fuji.
