On Mt. FUJI, its Landscape Impression of Old &Present

Abstract

Mt. Fuji is the most famous Landscape in Japan. The historical feeling of Japanese people about Mt. Fiji is not unified. The Present Stage almost trends to mountaineering (mountain-climbing) since Meiji Period under Foreigner's suggestion. But before Meiji, Fuji feeling is affected only by beautiful sense and its heighest stage is the late Tokugawa (socalled-UKIYOE') period. If it traces back to the old origin, its feeling is up to terrible or mystery.
