Mt. Nantai San, Japan
(Order Fine Art Print)
Soaring above beautiful lake Chuzenji and the ancient temple-studded town of Nikko is the sacred mountain of Nantai San. Also known as Kurokiyama and Futaarasan, the 2484 meter peak has been a place of Shinto pilgrimage since at least the 4th century AD. Local legends tell of a powerful mountain spirit that assisted hermits and monks in spiritual realization, and by the 8th century Nantai San was a favored site for Buddhist practitioners on solitary retreats. The author spent some days living upon the mountain top. Besides finding the place highly conducive for the practice of meditation, I received telepathic and visionary information which indicated that Nantai San had an energy field that would "awaken, stimulate, and amplify the capacity of human creativity". This particular energy field is highly concentrated during the time of August 1-7 when many thousands of pilgrims climb the mountain from behind the Chugushi shrine.
