All Roads Lead to Mount Fuji

All Roads Lead to Mount Fuji

As you walk against the traffic along Nagore Road in George Town, there is a painted signage on the side wall of the shop selling Fujiyama branded apparels. It actually looks like the symmetrical silhouette of Mount Fuji's peak covered in snow, as white spot lights illuminate the triangular roof line amidst the warm glow of other surrounding buildings.

Nagore Road has become a trendy place for the young who come for meals in the many restaurants and cafes that have sprouted in these renovated pre-war shophouses. The area exudes a relaxing ambience despite the street being located perpendicular in between the two main arterial roads in busy George Town.

This Japanese-themed scene was captured as I walked along the road after a cup of coffee at a nearby cafe.
