"On other high snow mountains, representing ridges connected among themselves,
in their opinion, spirits also live; the most powerful among them is called Villjuchej.
And natives refuse to pass through such mountain ranges, declaring that the spirit
rides the partridges at times in those places, so they could meet him."
"On their assurances, Villjuchej drives sometimes also a small sledge harnessed with
the beautiful black foxes. They are often confused by those freakish patterns,
Which are formed on a snow surface by touches of rough winds."
G.V. Steller "The description of Kamchatka land", 1774
Hundred and one view of Fujiyama. Hundred and one view of Viljuchinsky volcano within
an hour, a day, a year or within the whole life. Infinite breath of time.
Infinite change of centuries and millenia.
