Two small islands can be seen off the coast of Kumomi. The view of Mt. Fuji seen beyond Ushitsuki Rock is beautiful and is loved by many photographers as a perfect camera point. The unusual name Ushitsuki Rock has the following reason. A long time ago, there was a storm in the year of the child, and the Kumomi area was flooded. All the houses and livestock were swept out to sea, but the next morning, the cows were washed ashore on the rocks in front of the port, and they were safe. Since then, the people of Kumomi have called this rock Ushitsuki-iwa. Even today, people call large rocks 'Oushigi' and small rocks 'Koushigi', build torii gates, put up shimenawa, and pray for the safety of harbors and ships.
Any photo in my collection can be made as a stunning black & white print.
