Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes of a Trip Around the World in 1894 and 1895 Soon after noon on the 3rd day of December, we saw, looming up high in the air in the distance, more than a hundred miles away, the silvery cone of the sacred mountain, Fujiyama; it seemed to us at first a shining cloud, so bright and white was it away Off in the sky. I can readily see why the Japanese so love the view of this mountain, rising as it does almost directly from the sea, its feet visible to millions of the people; first in the morning sun and reflecting its lovely pink rays at night as they see its last and highest point fade away from View with the declining day, it is something to love if not worship.
