For a long time, Mt.Fuji has been an object of worship. It has also been featured in many works of art and literature. One of the reasons for its designation as a World Cultural Heritage is that it has been considered as a source of artistic inspiration.

One significant example is the world famous Ukiyoe woodblock print created by Katsushika Hokusai, Japan’s great artist in 18C. His works strongly affected European impressionist such as Van Gogh and Claude Monet under the influence of the ‘Japonism’ movement in the late 19th century. There are enthusiastic collectors of his Ukiyoe masterpieces across the world.

The appearance of Mt. Fuji keeps changing according to the seasons, or even the passage of time during the course of a day.

Many works of art have been created by capturing these precious moments in the appearance of Mt. Fuji. You might want to feel the moment for yourself here in Shizuoka!
