Mt. Fuji is sacred to believers of Shinto, an indigenous religion of Japan.

Another artwork influenced by the art of Japan is "La Japonaise" by Claude Monet. Elements of Japonisme that can be identified in the work include the use of vibrant colors, asymmetrical composition, and the depiction of a Japanese woman in a kimono. It is likely that Monet worked intentionally in a Japanese style, as he was known to collect Japanese art and was influenced by the work of Japanese artists. A Western artist might want to use elements from another culture in their artwork to bring a fresh perspective or to capture a particular aesthetic that they find appealing.
