松の木静岡While on a recent trip to a hot spring, we gazed out over the Pacific Ocean with the Izu Peninsula in the distance.
Below us was a classic image: the wind-blown, slightly gnarled but picture perfect pine tree.
It could have been plucked from a Hokusai painting.
Indeed, Hokusai must have been fairly close to Yaeze - the town where we stayed - when he painted his Mount Fuji works, some of which are now on display in Kyoto.
