Background: “I had asked for a painting of Mt. Fuji, Alex and I had climbed Fuji-San two days before. Soke painted this for me and said that Fuji San protects the sun until the sun gets so high in the sky that it becomes greater that Fuji-San. Then he pointed at me and said I was Fuji and my daughter was the sun. He told me it was my job to protect her until she became greater than me.”
