  "account": "OYAMA, Shizuoka -- A unique art project has opened along Mount Fuji's Subashiri Trail, allowing climbers to view works by painter Rei Nakanishi. The \"Japan's Highest\" exhibition features 14 pieces by the 32-year-old artist from Susono, Shizuoka Prefecture. Each shrine and mountain hut along the trail displays one of Nakanishi's works. Nakanishi climbed Mount Fuji on July 11 and donated prints to all 12 mountain huts. He also created circular paintings and dedicated them to Shinto shrines, including Fuji Sengen Jinja in Oyama and Kusushi Shrine at the summit. The dedication ceremony took place at Fuji Sengen Jinja, with Shizuoka Governor Yasutomo Suzuki in attendance. Nakanishi has long desired to display his work on Mount Fuji and used modern printing techniques to create colorful abstract paintings. The project's success is attributed to the increased space at mountain huts since the COVID-19 pandemic.",
