This photograph captures the majestic sight of Mount Nantai near the mountain’s base, with its slopes brightly illuminated by the morning sun. Focusing on the morning light streaming onto Mount Nantai—known as one of the iconic mountains of Oku-Nikko—and the serene landscape created by the surrounding nature, I sought to convey the crisp, clear air unique to an early autumn morning and the beautiful beauty of the mountains.
