iOS iPhone

FUJIYAMA, the Highest mountain in Japan, rising to 12,388 feet (3,776 meters) near the Pacific coast in Yamanashi and Shizuoka ken (prefectures), central Honshu, about 60 miles (100 km) west of Tokyo. It is a volcano that has been dormant since its last eruption in 1707 (Hoei era) but is still generally classified as active by geologists. The mountain’s name, of Ainu origin, means "Everlasting Life."

Mount Fuji, with its graceful conical form, has become famous throughout the world and is considered the sacred symbol of Japan. Among Japanese there is a sense of personal identification with the mountain, and thousands of Japanese climb to the shrine on its peak every summer. It is also known as Fujiyama. Many hold Mount Fuji sacred. It’s perfectly symmetrical, snowcapped cone has inspired many artists and writers in Japan.
The ancient poets of Manyo have made many songs on this mountain and during Edo period it became a preferred subject of Ukiyo-e artists like Hiroshige and Hokusai. One of the most famous and known masterpiece that features Mt. Fuji is Fugaku-Sanjyurokkei, a series of work by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849), the most famous Ukiyo-e artist of the late Edo period. As its name states, it is a collection of 36 views of Mt. Fuji which describe Mt. Fuji as well as the people living around it and the travelers.
