On a clear mid-November evening, just before sunset, I ventured out to Tokyo Fujimi-zaka in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, a familiar spot, to capture a breathtaking view of Mount Fuji. The sky, awash in shades of orange at dusk, and the snow-capped Mount Fuji illuminated by the day’s last rays, presented a mesmerizing scene.
