The peak of Japan’s Mount Fuji was capped with snow for the first time this winter on Thursday, reaching the milestone 21 days later than the average since records began in 1894, the meteorological agency said.
The sacred mountain is among Japan’s most enduring symbols – its snow-capped summit has inspired some of Japan’s greatest works of art, such as Katsushika Hokusai’s “Great Wave Off Kanagawa,” which now features on the back of the 1,000-yen note. (Photos courtesy of Kyodo) | via Reuters
