Mt. Fuji with Gravestones

Hi everyone, I'm Isabella! Today, we're going to look at a painting called "Mt. Fuji with Gravestones." It shows a really big mountain and a place where people rest after they pass away. nn What do you think the artist wanted to tell us by painting these two things together? nn --- nn Look at the mountain. It's so tall and white! That's Mt. Fuji, a very famous mountain in Japan. The artist used soft colors like white and blue to paint it. Why do you think they chose those colors? nn --- nn Now, look down at the bottom of the painting. Do you see the gravestones? They look old and a little bit forgotten, don't they? But look closer! What else do you see? nn --- nn The artist painted some bright pink flowers near the gravestones. Flowers can remind us of new life and happy things. What do you think the artist was trying to say by painting flowers in a place where people rest? nn --- nn There's a path in the painting, too. Can you see it? It goes from the bottom of the painting all the way up towards the mountain. Imagine you're walking on that path. Where do you think it would lead you? nn --- nn This painting is like a puzzle with a secret message. The artist used colors, shapes, and objects to tell a story about life and nature. What do you think the message is? nn --- nn "Mt. Fuji with Gravestones" is a special painting because it reminds us that even though life ends, nature is always around us. It's a beautiful and peaceful painting, don't you think?
