Tenugui

I bought this 手拭 at the Edo-Tokyo Museum in Ryogoku. It has 24 things that were chosen to represent Japan such as sakura, Fuji-san, ocha, etc. Do you think these things represent the Japan you know? If you could choose 5 things to represent Japan, what would they be?

Hello!This is my first writing this year.

First,Fuji is Most important representative thing. Because foreigners usually say "Fujiyama!!" when they tell of Japan.

Hanabi,Ocha,Sensu and Sushi is good too. Especially Sushi is taste of Japan!!

These are all traditional things. What about more modern things?

Do Japanese people say "Fujiyama?" I have only heard "Fujisan."
