“Mt Fuji Beauty of a Classic Symbol” Tourism film from 1972, Sakura Film Company, released by Consolate of Japan. Eastman color. Appears to show imagery of the famous mountain. 25 minutes.

Mount Fuji has been the subject of mountain worship for the Japanese since ancient times, and because of its beautiful appearance, it has been sung in poetry and depicted in paintings. Katsushika Hokusai’s paintings are particularly famous. Mount Fuji

　is often covered with a thick veil of clouds, and when you see it suddenly appear in an unexpected place, you are struck by its sublimeness. However, if you approach and climb Mount Fuji, you will see that it is a masculine volcano made of rough rocks from the mountainside to the summit, and its surface is constantly being weathered and eroded. The huge central crater makes Mount Fuji a beautiful cone-shaped volcano. Volcanic activity is currently dormant, but this vent is said to be connected to magma deep underground.

　Mount Fuji is also a very interesting mountain from a botanical point of view. A variety of forests can be seen on the lava plateau at the foot of the mountain. The wide virgin forest at the base is a treasure trove of wild crows, and about 100 types of small birds have been recorded.

　Mount Fuji is an object of admiration and a symbol of beauty for the Japanese people, it expresses the Japanese psyche and has dominated the lives of the Japanese people throughout the four seasons of their lives. There has been a shrine on the summit since ancient times, but in modern times a large weather observatory has also been built there. The beauty of Mount Fuji is none other than the hearts of the Japanese people who adore and love it. This will continue to be passed down from generation to generation. In the summer, there are no shortage of climbers, and it is not uncommon to see families with children, but as a mountain of faith, there is also a constant stream of believers dressed in traditional white robes. However, in winter, Mount Fuji is hit by seasonal winds of 20 meters per second every day, making it difficult for people to approach.
