Mt. Fuji seen from Otome pass
WAKAYAMA Bokusui mentioned Otome pass in "Atari-no Yama-yori Fuji-wo aogu-Ki"
(Description on Fuji seen from all sides of the mountains).
WAKAYAMA Bokusui (1885-1928): a poet from the Meiji era to the early Showa era
"What words in the world should I select and use to praise
such a great mountain as is generous & high, pure & graceful,
and as if it would surmount alone & reighn over the surrounding mountains & rivers.
....... I suppose that the charm of Fuji seen from this pass
might be kind of beautiful figure that governs its mountain foot, that is,
its foot and all natural phenomena existing there. ........" (my translation)
