trumpets for a deity
According to the legend once a deity descended down to earth and asked two mountains for a place to rest in exchange for blessings. The majestic Fuji san refused, believing it doesn't need any blessings. The humble Tsukuba though offered a place to stay as well as food and water. As the deity kept its word, Tsukuba san is blessed with lush vegetation and colors all year round, while Fuji san is cold and barren.
