Abstract

This research is to identify traditional perceptional ways of viewing a mountain scenery of the northern part of Kyoto. As a result, the mountains are perceived as a spiritual object, holy mountain, and scenery. Each perceptional ways of viewing mountains has been sustained since it had been found and coexisted with a newly found perceptional ways in a certain view point. This means Japanese mountain scenery contains multiple perception, which is historically and culturally valued, and each perception should be preserved and restored as a cultural value.
