The purity of mountain air
Crossing a bridge can be seen as a way of moving from one world into another. In Buddhism, clouds signify the ‘Western Paradise’ beyond earth, and in Shintoism, the spirits of the dead.
The mountains represent solidity. Up here, it is possible to gain a sense of perspective. Breathe deeply and take in the view.
