Fuji-san

I've been learning Japanese lately both in typography, calligraphy and language, and figured that I might as well create a homage to Fuji-san which I will be visiting again pretty soon.

If printed on a shirt, would you buy this? I'm planning on expanding this to a streetwear clothing line soon once I have enough designs.

Read from right to left in vertical writing(tategaki) reads "A thousand oceans, a thousand mountains" which is a popular Japanese reference to a “sly old fox,” someone who has been through everything and seen everything and can, therefore, handle any situation, usually through cunning. A thousand oceans, a thousand mountains, an ultimate badass.

For asymmetry on the left reads "Mt. Fuji".

Also, my Japanese is still a bit rusty, if someone can proofread this then that would be really awesome!
