A view of snowcapped mountains. He often spoke of them. Their property was built on a hill –

through the windows they could be seen. Katsushika Hokusai at the end of his life published

Thirty Six Views of Mt. Fuji – and a printed book – One Hundred Views of Mt. Fuji. God has set

eternity in the human heart. Of this, Mt. Fuji was a symbol. The New Zealand Southern Alps,

seen on a winter day, are like a fairy tale. Some folklorists use the term, Märchen or “wonder

tale”. These are tales filled with the marvellous. God makes everything beautiful in its time.
