Abstract
Juzo Kondo's achievements are wide-ranging. He is known as an explorer, a librarian, and a
writer, and as a government official. However, it is not well known that Juzo built a Fujizuka called
'Yarigasaki Fuji'. Why did such an atheist Juzo create Yarigasaki Fuji? Moreover, why did Juzo look
up to Mt. Fuji? The author elucidates the mystery of what kind of process Juzo took to become a
founder of Mt. Fuji and build Yarigasaki Fuji, by reading and interpreting untranscribed manuscripts
of Chinese poems written by Juzo himself.
