Proudly standing unflinching!

Misty showers play
against the distance's visuals
Mount Fuji subdued

Regal snow-capped tops
Proudly standing unflinching
Japan's great mountain

Undaunted presence
Solitary yet somber
Pride of Eastern skies

For Chev's CARPE DIEM #718 Misty Showers
with Basho's take on Mount Fuji

    It is the pride of Japan. I saw it as a kid (lived there a few years) and would like to go back and see it as an adult.

    the most iconic, certainly. It's the snow-capped top that does it.
