20 The elixir of immortality
A lieutenant delivers the letter and the elixir to the emperor (depicted with his face covered to recall his official position). The emperor, very saddened by the loss of his beloved, gave both the letter and the elixir to a messenger with the idea of burning them on the nearest mountain. Arrived at the top of the summit together with a large troop of soldiers, the messenger burns everything. From that moment the mountain was called Fuji.
