The term SHITEN means perspective or point of view, to be understood also in an introspective way, where the meaning of "mental or interior perspective" and "personal interpretation" is relevant in this context.
Shiten therefore tells us about intangible and personal states of mind that are represented through the metaphor of natural elements, which evoke their meaning in an intuitive way.
Yama shiten or the perspective of the mountain; yuki shiten, the point of view of the snow and finally mori shiten, the perspective of the forest.
