The traditional Japanese village Saiko Iyashi no Sato Nemba is more of a touristic place. However, it is rather enjoyable with calm and peaceful flow of life in it, providing an insight into traditional Japanese living architecture.
One of the greatest things about this village, one that actually creates a feeling that the time has stopped there, is Fuji mountain overlooking the wooden houses. It is also the sun glaring watchfully, looking after this place, obviously caring about it a lot.
Seeing Fuji with my own eyes was the experience I cannot yet comprehend.
A real place, and yet not, with so many meanings attached, with such great and long-lasting impact on culture of many nations.
A sacred mountain, once feared for its disastrous eruptions.
An endless source of inspiration for the artists, poets and writers.
The power of Fuji is almost palpable. It seems, the air around the mountain is wrapped in legends, for it floats in a special, rather ceremonial way, remaining friendly and attentive to all the visitors. It’s like a giant magnet one could hardly turn their back on.
The magnet, the living legend, the epitome of power and poetic fluidity of life at the same time, the limitless source of inspiration.
