Fuji is a stratovolcanic mountain, it is 3775 metres tall and the 35th tallest mountain in the world. It is praised for it’s attractive symmetry which has made it the subject of many poems and works of art. It is an important symbol of Japan and has huge significance in the Shinto religion, there are many shrines at the base and on the ascent of Fuji, they honour Princess Konohanasakuya the Kami (Deity) whose symbol is cherry blossom.

Bamboo is a symbol of purity and innocence, due to it’s extensive root structure it is also revered for it’s strength and for years if there was and earthquake people were told to run into a bamboo grove as it’s roots would hold the earth together.
