Mihara is an active volcano on Oshima Island which was virtually unknown to the Japanese public until 1933. One day, university students from Tokyo climbed to the lip of this volcano, and one of them told her friend that she wanted to jump into it, because she would immediately be turned by the fire into beautiful wisps of smoke that would be lifted up to heaven.
