If you see Mt.Fuji when it is colored red, it brings you luck and fortune.
From the end of summer to the beginning of the autumn, Mt. Fuji turns red during the early mornings for less than one hour.
It is really special phenomenon, because it is caused by the combination of cloud, mist and sunshine after recent snow melt.
A famous woodblock painter, Katsushika Hokusai(葛飾北斎) in the Edo period, painted a red colored Mt. Fuji, "Aka-Fuji (赤富士)". It is very popular among Japanese people.
