Ato wa No to Nare Yama to Nare

If you think, "as long as I can solve the problem at hand, I don't care about anything else," you can express the feeling with the proverb 'ato wa no to nare yama to nare' (後は野となれ山となれ).

'Ato' (後) means "after," 'no' (野) means "field," 'nare' (なれ) means "become," and 'yama' (山) means "mountain." Therefore, the literal meaning of this proverb is, "after this, let it become a field or a mountain."

In other words, it means that it does not matter to you whether the place becomes a field or a mountain after you are gone.

This proverb is used to describe an irresponsible or resolute attitude.
後は野となれ山となれ

「目の前の問題さえ解決できれば、後はどうなっても構わない」という心情は、「後は野となれ山となれ」ということわざで表すことができます。

「後」は "after"、「野」は "field"、「なれ」は "become"、「山」は "mountain" を意味するので、このことわざの文字どおりの意味は "after this, let it become a field or a mountain" となります。

自分がいなくなった後は、その場所が野となっても山となっても、自分には関係がないということです。

投げやりで無責任な態度、または潔い態度のたとえとして利用されます。
