If you look at the landscape of the American northeast, you can see the white pines towering over the hills and deciduous trees. These white pines reminded me of Asian written characters, called kanji in Japanese. So I began playing around with using these kanji in the landscapes. Usually the characters (that I choose to include) signify eternity, mountain, tree, mindfulness, peace, water, river, and more.
