For about 300 years since the Industrial Revolution, we have pursued modernization. Factories are a symbol of modernization, operating day and night to give us convenience. However, in exchange for this, we have destroyed much of nature. The situation in which so much nature is lost due to modernization overlaps with the sight of Mount Fuji, a symbol of Japan, hidden by clouds. However, the Earth has not completely abandoned us. Mount Fuji is still visible, isn't it? Let's find a way to balance modernization and protecting the Earth before Mount Fuji disappears from view altogether.
