EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Yuriko Nakao, we witness a breathtaking moment as a man raises his hands and shouts "banzai" in jubilation. The scene unfolds atop Ryugatake mountain in Fujikawaguchiko town, southwest of Tokyo on January 1,2010. As the sun begins to rise over the majestic Mount Fuji, known locally as "Diamond Fuji" it illuminates the sky with vibrant hues of orange and pink. Mount Fuji stands tall at an impressive height of 3,776 meters (12,388 ft), revered for its sacredness and considered a symbol of good luck. This belief is amplified during the New Year period when people gather from far and wide to witness this awe-inspiring spectacle. The man's exuberant expression perfectly captures the sense of joy and wonder that fills the air. It is as if he is celebrating not only nature's beauty but also embracing new beginnings with open arms. His shout echoes through the serene surroundings, adding an element of excitement to this tranquil moment. This photograph serves as a reminder of our connection with nature and how it can inspire us to express our emotions freely. It encapsulates both reverence for tradition and an appreciation for natural wonders that continue to captivate hearts worldwide. (REUTERS/Yuriko Nakao)
