Koohii Story 1 Mount everest is very sturdy, you can hit it all day with a saber and it wont even wobble.
Koohii Story 2 Anything sturdy in Japan is associated with Mount Fuji. Perhaps this is because it´s symmetry is believed to make it rather sturdy itself, unlike all those crooked mountains that are around and tend to fall apart (think rock slides, avalanches, etc.).
