富士山

here are a few photos from mount fuji, as promised.


3100 meters

many people buy wooden climbing sticks and get them branded at the mountain huts along the way to the summit. you can rent a mat to sleep on for 5000 yen, and some places will let you sit inside if you order food or a drink -- but they won't hesitate to kick you out when there's a line and you've been there plenty long enough to consume your order.



people like fireflies

daytime.



down the moon

descending. i imagine this is what the surface of the moon looks like.



life

return to life.
